This page and the other Rome photos pages get a lot of hits these days, which is cool (thanks, Alta Vista!). Drop me a line and tell me what you think of the page, the site or the photos. Go here to get back to my Travels page and access my other Italy and Rome photos.
This is a great looking house at the end of Via Cavour in a little off-the-street alleyway. It was very quiet and "Italian" looking.
This is Trajan's Market. The structure coming from the left to the center of the frame is the remaining dome-supporting wall.

The left photo is of Augustus' Forum. The central structure was a temple. The structure in scaffolding behind the 4 columns was a fire wall built by Augustus to protect the forum from the fire-prone neighborhood behind it. The photo on the right is a detail of one of the walls of Nerva's Forum. It's all that is left of the structure.
The Stairway to Nowhere. I walked along the catwalk attached to the wall on the right (it's barely visible in this photo). The stairway ends near the end of the street the yellow building is on. The yellow building itself uses one of the ancient walls for it's own. Rome is full of stuff like this. They've recycled everything they can.
The pretty vine-covered walls and bridge of Via Giulia.
