This special section of the our March 2006 Newsletter is dedicated to Julius Caesar and the ancient roman ruins.
An arial view of Roman ruins. Pictured is the city
center. Circled is the spot where Julius Caesar's body was burned. |
A closer arial view of where Caesar's body was burned. |
An inside look at the stone on which Caesar's body
was burned. A small memorial structure was erected around the stone.
|
A side view of the forum steps, on which orators and
politicians would climb to address the Roman citizens.
|
The sunken field in the background is Circus Maximus.
The sloped hillsides in the foreground and around Circus Maximus gave
raked seating for better viewing for thousands of spectators.
|
A typical Roman fountain, found everywhere throughout
the city; a welcome sight in August weather. In ancient Rome, the aquaduct
water system supplied twice as much water per person as the current
water system provides.
