A true open-air museum, Rome has preserved and enriched its beauty over the centuries. Each corner of the streets reveals a treasure, be it ancient, religious, architectural or even gastronomic. All roads lead to Rome, and one should not resist, simply take it and go, enjoy the beauty and admire the eternal city.
to the northwest at Masada.One of six Roman forts from the Siege of Masada visible today almost 2000 years later These forts were strongholds of a circumvallation wall held by an entire Roman legion. Due to the enormous quantities of food and water stored in the fortress that made it possible for a thousand men to hold out for at least one year, the Romans decided to build a rampart up one of the mountainsides so that their war machines could be brought to bear on the fortress walls and so take this seemingly impregnable fortress.
Masada (Tv miniseries) with Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss, and Barbara Carrera brought those ancient events to life for a modern audience.

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.
Shot at Backdrop Cove. The backdrop has a reflected picture of a Vatican-like basilica (I blurred and shadowed it out). Together with the lovely hat by COCO Designs. the scene put me in mind of an Audrey Hepburn look. So the title is just the mish mosh of those images in my head.

These were found when excavating the Roman Temple of Mithas. These can be seen at the London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE.
This aquaduct has stood the test of time and is still impressive. It looks even better when framed by wisteria.

A bronze sculpture in St Albans, done by Erica Morgan. The work is a relatively recent one - highlighting the city's Roman past.
My actual entry for the year challenge on RogueBricks.de is an Roman tower, standing somewhere at the border of the Roman Empire.
Based on my MOC "All along the Nerdtower" I changed main things on this one, including a base, the fence, figures, ... and it will be also shown on the exhibition Bricking Bavaria 2021 in Friedrichshafen (Germany) end of the week. So it is also showable from all sides :D
I am still in love with the color scheme of the tower, medium nougat and dark orange. Si no change on this.
At this point, at Chequers (not far from Flamstead, Hertfordshire), the River Ver crosses the ancient Roman road. This road, which used to be called "Watling Street", is now the A1583, a major trunk road with heavy lorry (truck) traffic. Recently, repairs have been carried out to make sure that the river stays underneath the road.
