The Roman Baths at Bath, We got there early to beat the crowds of tourists but then we were followed by school parties. But really happy with the shots I got there, this one is an HDR as it was very contrasty with deep shadows around the pool and bright light on the upper walls.

Picture of the Maison Carrée in Nîmes in November 2021
I rescued this picture from a travel one year ago. This beautiful bridge is located in Mérida (Spain) and is the longest of all existing roman bridges. As you can see,it is still used by pedestrian.
Regarding the picture, the frame was a little limited because there are some trees on the right side quite close and I did't want them in the picture. I enhanced the sunset by using a radial filter and several degradated filters. I did a little burn and dodge and "turned on" the lights.
As always, any comment/advice is more than welcome!

El Puente Romano de Mérida (España) es el puente romano mas largo que existe actualmente. Como se puede apreciar en al imagen, aún está en uso (solo peatones).
Estaba un poco limitado para el encuadre de la foto ya que había unos árboles a la derecha que no quería sacar (estaban demasiado cerca). He potenciado el atardecer usando un filtro radial y unos cuantos filtros degradados. Ademas he hecho un pequeño "dodge&burn" y he "encendido" las farolas.
Como siempre, ¡cualquier comentario/consejo es bienvenido!
An ordinary day somewhere in the west of the Roman empire. The temple of Bacchus gets a new supply of sacrificial wine and the promagistrate is auditioning for the upcoming festival in His honor.

Rab (Italian: Arbe, Latin: Arba) is a town (grad) on the island of Rab in Croatia. According to the 2011 census the total population of the town was 8,065, whereas only 437 lived in the titular settlement (naselje). Rab, the settlement, is located on a small peninsula on the southwestern side of the island.
The town has a long history that dates back to 360 BC when it was inhabited by the Illyrians. The island was the frontier between the regions of Liburnia and Dalmatia. From the third century BC to the sixth century AD Rab was part of the Roman Empire, and Emperor Augustus proclaimed it a municipium in 10 BC. It was the first town of Roman Dalmatia to be given the honorary title "felix".
Among the signatories of the Second Council of Nicea was a bishop of Rab, namely Ursus. (“Ursus episcopus Avaritianensium ecclesiae” Ursus of Rab)[3][4]
The worst disaster in the town's history was an outbreak of the plague in 1456 that decimated the city's population.
There are many churches in the town. The largest is St. Mary the Blessed, which was built in the 13th century. The church of St. Justine is now a museum of sacred arts, while the chapel of St. Christopher (dedicated to the patron saint of the island) is nowadays called the Lapidarium. The four church bell towers became the symbol of the town and island. The oldest dates back to the eleventh century.
Saint Marinus, the Christian founder of San Marino, was a native of Rab who is said to have fled the island under Diocletian's persecution in AD 301.
The columns and other pieces of masonry originated in the Roman city of Leptis Magna in Libya, North Africa.

I really like this triceratops by Roman Diaz. Most dinosaur models, especially triceratops, are quite complex. This one, in contrast, is so simple you can teach it to a complete novice. Clearly, the horns and other details are not as fine as in other triceratops models, but this gives it a kind of cute, baby-animal-like appearance. I always admire models which despite being simple capture the essence of the subject and I think this is a great example.
This is Roman Bridge in Cordoba, Spain. I like this shot very much, and I think it is one of my best shots so far. I wanted to travel to Cordoba just to get this shot, and I loved it already on the camera. If you like it also, please fave it and give me a comment what you like! And also follow me to see my future shots. I´m active photographer who travels and I will upload photos almost daily. Thank you :)
Pompeii, Italy. This is the wall from which I've been showing you the series of fresco shots. I'll end with this abstract as inspired by my twin brother:-)
Found by accident, the Villa Romana del Casale is a large and elaborate Roman villa or palace located about 3 km from the town of Piazza Armerina, Sicily. Excavations have revealed one of the richest, largest, and varied collections of Roman mosaics in the world, for which the site has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The photo above is four different shots showing the tiny tiles close-up and distant to show off how elaborate this tile work was... The tile work had borders as if it were a carpet. Look closely at the 3rd image from the left.

The Roman theater of Aspendos is a Roman theater in the ancient city of Aspendos in Turkey. It was built in the 2nd century and is one of the best preserved ancient theaters of the Greco-Roman world.[1]
Description
With a diameter of 96 metres (315 ft), the theatre provided seating for 7,000/13,000 people. The theatre was built in 155 AD by the Greek architect Zenon, a native of the city, during the rule of Marcus Aurelius. It was periodically repaired by the Seljuks, who used it as a caravansary, and in the 13th century the stage building was converted into a palace by the Seljuks of Rum. Technically the structure is a theatre not an amphitheatre, the latter being fully round or oval shaped.
History
The theater was built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180). An inscription lists the brothers Curtius Crispinus and Curtius Auspicatus as commissioners and Zenon as architect. The cavea is partly built against the slope of the hill, which provides a natural foundation. The rest of the stand rests on stone arcades. The cavea has 41 rows of benches, providing seating for 12,000 spectators. The stage wall is completely intact, only the original eight-meter-deep wooden ceiling has disappeared. Around the theater, 58 holes have been found where there used to be poles, which could be used to stretch a large velarium over the grandstand to protect the spectators from the sun.[2]
In the 13th century, the stage building was converted into a palace for the Seljuks.
In modern times, the theater has been restored to its original state. It is an important tourist attraction for the region. In spring and summer, opera and ballet performances are held there.
This is the Roman Amphitheatre in St. Albans. Such an interesting place to visit. I'm very into Roman life, history and buildings so visiting here was awesome!
