Part of 'The Classical Now' exhibition at Somerset House, which combined classical works with modern interpretations. This lovely alabaster piece is a cinerary urn from Rome in the first or second century, to hold the ashes of the dead.
Visit the Rome's Set
The Roman Forum (Latin: Forum Romanum, Italian: Foro Romano) is a small open rectangle surrounded by the ruins of ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this marketplace as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum. It was for centuries the center of Roman public life: the site of triumphal processions and elections, venue for public speeches and gladiatorial matches, and nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men.
Il Foro Romano (Forum Romanum, sebbene i Romani si riferissero ad esso più spesso come Forum Magnum o semplicemente Forum) era situato nella valle compresa tra il Palatino ed il Campidoglio e costituì il centro commerciale, religioso e politico della città di Roma.

This is a masterpiece of architectural ruins from the Roman era.....It is such a work of art that when you walk through it, you actually get the feel of that era.....well at least I did.
While my last post of Roman Forum was more dated and dark in appearance, I have given this a touch of today's colours and contrast yet little dated.
How far I have succeeded?? Well, I'll come to know from you.
Hope you all have a good weekend!

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.
The Capitoline Temple at Dougga overlooks the Roman forum. Dougga was the capital of ancient Punic and Roman Tunisian states.
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.'

These articulated skeletons were excavated beneath the debris of a Late Roman house at Kourion, destroyed in the 4th century AD by an earthquake. A man in his mid 20s attempts to protect a young woman, who in turn clutches an infant in her arms. A chi-rho ring identifies the man as a Christian.
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).
