The Arch of Constantine (Arco di Costantino) is an ancient Roman triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, dedicated to the emperor Constantine the Great.
The Archaeological Museum in El Djem, Tunisia, was built next to a street of excavated Roman villas.
Romans 8:11 NIV
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ
from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
A collection of ancient Roman bust/portraits. The pieces on display are fairly uniform chronologically (between 150 to 220 AD) and were discovered at the 'Baths of Elagabalus" (See image at : flic.kr/p/2mQb2wH).
Seen at the Temple of Romulus in the Roman Forum.
Rome; July 2019
Sometimes you have to wait 8 years... but finaly LEGO made the 1 x 2 tiles in the colour the roof of this temple needed! But yes, it is still my good old Mars Temple :) Oh, it has a new shiny Mars too.

A bireme is an ancient oared warship (galley) with two decks of oars.
Notes:
- The chain dosn't connect to the bridge, some technical issues in LDD.
- The two sails dosn't connects to the mast, they are only replacement of the original sail elements (missing from LDD).

A painting from the beginning of the first century A.D. a musician and two dancing men. From the great columbarium close to Villa Doria Pamphili. A columbarium has niches to place urns with ashes of the dead - in this case mostly freedmen (and -women).
Now at Museo Nazionale Romano.
Arch of Septimius Severus (Arco di Settimio Severo) at Roman Forum in Rome, Italy
Info: 'Starting in 66 BC, the Romans engaged in a series of battles with the Parthian Empire (ancient Iran) known as the Roman-Parthian Wars. When peace was declared in 202, this triumphal arch was erected at the Roman Forum the following year. Its namesake was Septimius Severus. He was a Roman emperor from 193 until 211. The monument measures 75.5 feet tall and 82 feet wide. Years later, the conflicts with Parthia were renewed until the empire was finally destroyed in 226.'

So this might be one of my last few builds for the next months,
My wife is on the end of her pregnancy so life is really knocking on the door.
I have been sick this week, so as the saying goes in Holland "for every disadvantage there is an advantage."
I actually had time to tear a few mocs apart and build a new one. So that's lucky.
As for the tree, I partially used Ralf's technique, but I made the construction inside more sturdy as it was way too fragile to let the tree stay up.
So here is my latest unexpected moc,
Roman Ambush :)
The Roman Cistern in Istanbul, Turkey, built in the 6th century by Justinian for underground water storage. The columns were taken from other old roman era buildings, and so do not match. It still holds water, which reflects the light and the people at the opposite end.
I had every opportunity in Jamaica to rent a car, or take a trip and go and explore the island. To go see Dunn River Falls, or explore Negril or an unexplored part of the island. I could have researched places to photograph and exploit their natural beauty for both sunrise, and sunset, and then some star-trails at night…
But instead I took Saturday off. I laid out at the pool, ate some Jerk chicken, read my bible on the beach, played beach volleyball, and did some people watching. All alone. No internet. No TV. Just lived a Corona commercial for hours on end.
To quote Office Space, “I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I hoped it’d be”
Romans were known to have great strength in military combat. One of the ways they were so successful in the field of battle was the ability of their soldiers to rapidly set up defensive structures. No guarantee that this is an entirely accurate representation; I can't remember how much research I did before building.
This is a model that I built a long a time ago but never got around to posting it. I think I got the idea to build this while listening to an Hardcore History episode of Julius Caesar in Gaul by Dan Carlin.
I have a couple of more builds that I will be posting soon; one being new and the other I built for Brickfair VA 2018.
The Roman architecture is simply amazing. The Colosseum and forum is so full of history can't be missed when you visit Rome. I took this HDR shot there during my visit a while back.
The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The house is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing.
The Roman Baths themselves are below the modern street level. There are four main features: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum holding finds from Roman Bath. The buildings above street level date from the 19th century (Wikipedia).

Muy cerca de Reinosa, por la carretera que bordea el Pantano del Ebro, a pocos kilómetros se encuentra Retortillo. En las inmediaciones de este pequeño pueblo se ubican los yacimientos de una ciudad romana que tuvo un gran esplendor en su época y era conocida con el nombre de Julióbriga. En torno al siglo I y la primera mitad del siglo II creció hasta tal punto que llegó a tener una plaza porticada y un templo dedicado a Júpiter. Después de tantos siglos aún se pueden distinguir sobre el terreno el trazado de las calles y los cimientos de las casas. Tan sólo se levantan unos pocos centímetros del suelo, pero permiten visualizar los restos de una pequeña ciudad que llegó a ser la más importante de la Cantabria romana, en palabras del escritor Plinio. No era para menos, ya que desde su emplazamiento estratégico podía controlar el paso de mercancías entre la meseta y la costa cantábrica.
Los estudios arqueológicos han descubierto viviendas sencillas, donde vivían ganaderos y agricultores, que contaban con pocas estancias, corral con pozos, establos y graneros. Pero en Julióbriga había también casas de atrio y mansiones con decenas de habitaciones, que pertenecían a familias de clase acomodada o de la aristocracia local. Estas residencias se completaban con un jardín central y pórticos con columnas. Algunas de ellas aún se mantienen en pie, como testigos de piedra. Si pudieran hablar contarían detalles de una ciudad caracterizada por una intensa vida pública, marcada por el ocio, la política y la religión. Para conocer mejor cómo era la vida cotidiana en aquella época conviene visitar la Domus romana, un recinto situado a escasa distancia del yacimiento. En su interior se ha recreado con todo detalle una vivienda romana, con su alcoba, un altar o capilla, despensa y cocina con sus utensilios, y un amplio comedor con una cena sobre la mesa. La visita se completa con piezas encontradas y otros espacios didácticos que resultan muy amenos para el visitante. Julióbriga y la Domus romana están abiertas al público todo el año con visitas guiadas en horario de 10:30 a 13:30 y de 16:00 a 19:00 horas.
I love the simple elegance and the melancholy of this design.

Criptoportico mock-roman ruins in the English Garden, Royal Palace of Caserta, Campania, Italy
The royal palace and gardens of Caserta, Campania, were first laid out by Luigi Vanvitelli in 1752, around an over 4 km long central axis intended to match the scale and grandeur of Le Nôtre’s work at Versailles and other major baroque designs. The main feature became the northern 3,3 km of the axis, a spectacular water piece starting at an artificial rock high on the opposing hillside, and toppling down as a series of waterfalls, cascades, fountains, water-steps and grottos ending in a long canal at the foot of the palace’s main parterre. The originally intended elaborate parterres where never fully realized, but the surrounding bosquets feature numerous follies and sculptures, most notably a miniature moated mock-fortress, the Castelluccia, where the young king could playact naval and land battles.
Near the top of hillside and waterfalls, Vanvitelli’s son Carlo Vanvitelli and John Graefer created one of Italy’s first English landscape gardens in 1786, which became a spectacular design in its own right, highly inspired by (and in part adorned by pieces from) the then beginning excavations of nearby Pompei. Featuring countless follies, temples, conservatories, pyramids, obelisques, rocks and waterfalls; the absolute centrepiece of the garden is a deep artificial ravine with an almost jungle-like atmosphere, sculpture pieces like the “Bath of Venus”, and most importantly a remarkable mock-roman-ruins grotto, the Criptoportico, which truly allows visitors to feel like archaeological explorers.
