The Forum from the Palatine Hill:
Ancient Rome was the largest city in the then known world. It is thought that Rome’s population was over 1 million people when the city was at the height of its power. From Rome, the heart of government beat; military decisions were taken and the vast wealth Rome earned was invested in a series of magnificent buildings. To start with, many buildings in Rome were built around the forum. Traditionally, this had been a market place and an area where people met. Therefore, it would have been a natural place to put government buildings, temples and palaces. As Rome grew, however, the forum became more and more crowded. Therefore, a second city centre was planned and built some distance from the forum but still in Rome itself...
La planta baja de la casa estaba dedicada al comercio y la planta primera a la que se accedía a través de una escalera era la vivienda. En el jardín se localizaban las instalaciones para la fabricación del pan.
Vestibolo circolare
Trattasi di un'aula di passaggio a pianta circolare con soffitto a cupola. Probabilmente, ai tempi dell'antica Roma, vi era il ninfeo delle Terme di Diocleziano. Questa sala era ospitata tra il calidarium, oggi scomparso, ed il tepidarium: e venne inclusa nell'asse longitudinale della chiesa da Michelangelo Buonarroti, il quale vi inserì quattro edicole con timpano, le quali conservarono dei monumenti funebri.
Cupola in vetro "Luce e tempo"
In epoca romana la volta della cupola era un'apertura circolare a cielo aperto che consentiva all'acqua piovana di penetrare e di finire nella piscina sottostante. Con la trasformazione delle terme di Diocleziano in chiesa si è resa necessaria la trasformazione dell'oculo con una vetrata. Michelangelo e Vanvitelli vi installarono delle lanterne successivamente demolite. Nel secolo scorso vi furono installate delle lanterne che in seguito si sono rivelate inadatte a resistere alle intemperie. La nuova lanterna, opera dell'artista italo americano Narcissus Quagliata, ha un diametro di circa due metri suddivisa in otto spicchi composti da ventiquattro lastre di vetro multicolore. Altre tre lenti collocate ad altezze differenti ma tutte poste nella zona sud completano l'opera. Le tre lenti fanno convergere i raggi del sole verso il basso, facendo in modo che la luce riflessa verso il pavimento sia di colore rosa che avanza molto lentamente sul pavimento stesso creando l'illusione del movimento terrestre nello spazio. Il sole, così, raggiunge il centro esatto del pavimento nei due equinozi e nei solstizi indicando il mezzogiorno a Roma.

So many angles but didn't have my right lens for my Nikon camera. I decided to GoPro this photo which had a wide enough angle. I really am willing to spend the night in Rome next time to capture twilight shots of this amazing structure.
Roman era Amphitheater built in the Augustinian empire, Merida ES. Merida ES off the beaten path but is a trove of antiquity and incredible sights, with amazing people and outstanding cuisine.
Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla share some physiological and political traits.
Severus managed to bring some order to the period of anarchy that followed —or more likely predated – the demise of Commodus, of ‘Gladiator’ fame. He showed some talent at keeping at least some of the Roman aristocracy on side, while really establishing what was more or less a military dictatorship.
His son Lucius Septimius Bassianus, better known as Caracalla, didn’t hesitate in having his brother murdered upon co-inheriting power from his dad, and dispensed with the niceties of keeping part of the aristocracy on side. He had a most profound influence on the Roman world by extending citizenship to all of its freeborn denizens, but the lack of support for his autocracy outside the military led to his eventual assassination on a Syrian road, as well as an atrocious reputation that survives to this day.

Been visiting since a child, and it always still amazing. Like any big city, you can walk the streets for eternity and still find something alluring to the eye.

Pisa Cathedral and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Also considered the Bell Tower, the world knows this for its construction flaws back in the 12th century. Its been leaning ever since, but safe to tour all the way to the top.

Buttocks

Fesses
Les fesses sont un des traits morphologiques caractéristiques des bipèdes en général, et des humains en particulier : en effet, c'est la station debout qui fait que les muscles postéro-supérieurs de la cuisse prennent ce rebond caractéristique ; dans le cas des autres animaux, les muscles fessiers sont effacés par l'angle formé entre la cuisse et le dos.
Leur forme de rembourrage musculaire facilite la station assise, une position caractéristique de la plupart des primates.
