A collection of broken columns and other bits in front of Basilica Aemilia
Constructed on a site occupied by shops from the early Republic and a later basilica, it was begun in 179BC by Marcus Fulvius Nobilior and completed by Marcus Aemilius Lepidus but was completely rebuilt between 55 and 34BC and rebuilt again, after a fire, by Augustus in 14BC, with two porticos dedicted to his grandsons Gaius & Lucius.
The Fontana del Nettuno, or Fountain of Neptune, is located in the northern end of Piazza Navona in Rome. It was designed by Giacomo della Porta and completed by Antonio Della Bitta in 1576. The central figure of the fountain is Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, depicted standing in a shell-shaped chariot pulled by sea horses and other mythical sea creatures. Neptune holds a trident, symbolizing his dominion over the seas. The fountain is adorned with various marine motifs and sculptures, including cherubs, dolphins, and fish, alluding to the theme of water and the sea. It serves as a decorative element within Piazza Navona, contributing to the overall beauty and grandeur of the square.
The Rome Beauty apples are so beautiful. The red ones are perfect, and the ones that are still yellow are flecked with little dots of gold. It almost looks like a Chrismas tree ornament!
