This is not a before and after picture - this is two Roman copies of the original Greek bronze sculpture Discobolus by Myron, made sometime 450-460 B.C. The sculpture was incredibly popular so a lot of copies of it were made, these two are from the 2nd century A.D. - the one to the left is dated to the reign of emperor Hadrian, and the one to the right is slightly later with a date around 150 A.D This one is the best preserved of all the Roman marble copies out there. These two are on display at Museo Nazionale Romani, in Rome. Others can be found at for example the Vatican Museums and British Museum.

Volubilis to stanowisko archeologiczne niedaleko miasta Meknes. Zachował się tu rozległy kompleks ruin rzymskiego miasta – starożytnej stolicy Mauretanii Tingitana.

 

Kompleks ruin jest wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

 

Pierwsze ślady osadnictwa pochodzą z II wieku p.n.e.

 

Największy rozkwit miasta miał miejsce w latach 40 - 285. Zostały zbudowane m.in. bazylika, forum, kapitol, łuk Karakalli. Mury miejskie osiągnęły łączną długość 2500 metrów.

 

W kolejnych stuleciach, pod rządami Arabów rozwijało się nieprzerwanie aż do XVIII wieku, kiedy to sułtan Mulaj Ismail wykorzystał zachowane tu marmury do budowy Meknes.

If you are driving into Tarragona its always worth stopping to look at this most beautiful piece of historical architecture. The Pont de les Ferreres also known as Pont del Diable (Devil’s Bridge) is a Roman bridge, on the outskirts of Tarragona , in Catalonia, Spain. The aqueduct was added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2000.

 

Description from Wiki

The Tárraco aqueduct took water from the Francolí river, 15 kilometers north of Tarragona. It probably dates from the time of Augustus. The Pont de les Ferreres is composed of two levels of arches: the upper section has 25 arches, and the lower one has 11. All arches have the same diameter of 20 Roman feet. It has a maximum height of 89 ft and a length of 817 ft, including the ends where the specus (water channel) runs atop a wall.
