These restored columns are the main visible remnant of Basilica Ulpia.
This large ancient Roman building was completed around 112 AD as part of the construction of Trajan's Forum. It is believed to have been used for administrative offices as well as commerce.
Inside were three statues of Trajan and trophies from the Dacian Wars were displayed. It was used as a venue for the emperors public appearances.

The last time the mrs and I were up at the late hour of 1am was in Dayton in May and we'd been to the Oregon District to eat earlier that night.
I said to her just yesterday after the El Paso shootings that I wondered how close these slayings had to get before anyone actually did something about gun control?
For us, Dayton is close enough, but this will of course mean nothing to Mitch McConnel and the other "thoughts and prayers" Republicans. How close will it have to get to THEM before they finally un-wedge their noses from the NRA's posteriors and do something for the greater good, and not just the good of their wallets?

The Quadriga of Freedom by Paolo Bartolini is a huge bronze sculpture that stands on top of the Vittoriano. It looks on one of the best views in Rome.
You can find the Dome of St Peter's Basilica in the distance (left of centre). The Pantheon, the Column of Marcus Aurelius, Via del Corso, Trinity Church (at Spanish Steps), and more can all be seen from here.
I captured this using the in-phone panorama feature of my Samsung Note 8.

From the top of the Victor Emmanuel II National Monument are some of the best views in Rome.
I captured this (rather not like in real life) 180 degrees view of the view looking north using the in-phone panorama on my Samsung Note 8.
The two bronze sculptures here are the Quadriga of Unity by Carlo Fontana on the left, and the Quadriga of Freedom by Paolo Bartolini on the right.
At centre is the Piazza Venezia and the road directly behind is Via del Corso. The dome of St Peter's Basilica is in the distance at the middle of the left half of this image. The Pantheon, Trinity Church at Spanish Steps, the Quirinal Palace, Trajan's Column, and more can all be seen from here.
If you turn around look south, the view is of The Roman Forum and the Colosseum. *

This is an 'in-phone panorama' capture of the nave at Sant'Ignazio.
At centre here is the high altar with three paintings and ceiling frescoes above with scenes from the life of St Ignatius; all painted by Andrea by Pozzo.
The 'false' dome at the transept looks rather 'real' from this angle. An actual dome was never built because of the high cost. What is in place is actually a flat canvas painting of a 'faux' dome.

This is the third of of three Senate Houses or "curiae" in/near this location in the Roman Forum. The word Curia means 'meeting hall' and various curiae have historically served as the meeting place of the Senate (both during the Republican and Imperial eras) and the Roman people.
Construction of the Curia Julia was begun under Julius Caesar replacing the Curia Hostilia which had been burned down. It was completed after his assassination in 44 BC by his successor Augustus Caesar.
The Curia Julia is has survived relatively intact because of its conversion for use as a church in 630 AD. Much of the upper part of the structure, the upper walls and roof, are reconstructions that date to the 1930s under Mussolini.

The Vittoriano is a huge monument in the heart of Rome. It sits on the edge of Capitoline Hill between the Roman Forum and Piazza Venezia. Completed in 1933, it is formally dedicated to King Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a re-unified Italy, but it more commemorates Italian Unification and idea of Italy.
It is 70 metres tall, 130 metres deep and 135 metres wide and clad it white marble. The design is pseudo-Neoclassical and designed to recall the glory of ancient Rome. Some would say its all 'too much' and it is sometimes referred to as the "wedding cake".
There are numerous statues, including three huge bronzes: the equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel at centre, flanked by two Winged Victories on Quadriga (Four Horse Chariot) on each end. On the second level is the 'Altare della Patria' (Altar of the Fatherland), originally built as a symbolic altar to the goddess Roma, but now also serves as the 'Tomba del Milite Ignoto' (Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers).
