Ave, all! Long time no post, but never stopped checking in now and then. Like the new forum. Very interested to see a news blip about the Mausoleum of Augustus is to be restored. I admit, this is the first I knew of it. Were the remains of Augustus and his wife Livia,Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, and Caligula really interred here? I read that the building suffered greatly over the centuries, but will we ever know what became of the "bones and ashes" of the afore mentioned Roman emperors? Why wouldn't this be important to historians down through the ages?

Has anyone seen this website - the Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire: http://dare.ht.lu.se/ Googles maps for the Roman Empire. Thought it might be of interest. ~ Mel Mods: Please feel free to more appropriate forum grouping if this is not the correct place to post.
