The day before we had visited the forum site with our two sons..It was very hot and crowded, and was fairly unpleasant..The next night We came alone to the Capitol museum, which is an intense cultural hit..Statuary is everywhere and gradually we found ourselves in the cellar area..From here we looked out onto the Forum in the early evening, nice and quiet..Wife took this picture of the sun on the columns of the temple of Venus against the Palantine hill..
These last two years I have been reading Rubicon, by Tom Holland..It gives a valid historic background to the Roman Culture..
