Great! Something to watch this evening besides channel surfing. Will watch later.

This is the first I've read about these other coliseums. The one in France is amazing. I hope you get to travel to Croatia, hope we all get to travel - anywhere - in the not too distance future.

Yes, it is interesting. Thank you for posting.

They are beautiful. Amazing.

Oh, how fascinating about the earring and its discovery. And I don't think I've ever seen a collection of mummy portraits like this. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Wouldn't you just love to see how it really was back then?

That's a lot of litter boxes to clean. 😉

Very interesting, informative.Thank you.

Beautiful.

thanks.

Ulpia Severina? A woman? Husband and wife? Both killed. I'll have to find out more.

I didn't notice the cross symbols' meanings before.

I just saw this awhile ago. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/21/21395115/roman-emperors-photorealistic-portraits-ai-artbreeder-dan-voshart

The tour of Rome included a walk to the Circus Maximus and the streets and area there. No crowding really, and I found it so interesting. Very nice with quiet streets and trees. I believe the Pompeii tour must have been toward the end of day as you mentioned, because it seemed as tho by the end the sun was beginning to set and I worried it would be dark before "I" got out of there. lol Thank you for the additional info and I will check it out.

Last winter, I believe it was, I discovered the ProWalk tour videos and was hooked. I "took" the Pompeii tour - all six hours of it. I had to take a break to fix supper, but ate it in front of the computer as I continued the tour into the evening. I enjoyed it. Yes, he walks quickly but I didn't find that annoying at all. If I wanted to see more of something, I paused the video. I have always wanted to go to Pompeii and I must say I feel as tho I have. Another day I took the tour of the city of Rome - I forget how many hours that was - five? Up and down streets, historic areas, etc. I was over whelmed by the crowds at the Trevi Fountain! And I wasn't really there, but I couldn't wait to get away from there. ha Altho found it fascinating too. Then I visited The Colosseum. Oh my, what an eye opener. I couldn't believe the crowds there, in fact I spent more time watching out for the people in front of me, coming at me, and beside me, then seeing the sites of the Colosseum. Felt like I was there. But again, I thought the video was wonderful. There were a couple other tours I watched, but I can't recall right now which ones. Thanks for sharing the Capri tour. I enjoyed it.

As always, thanks for sharing the article. Also, you have inspired me to finally subscribe to Archaeology, (the introductory rate offer was a good one!)

That was very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for posting. Very interesting.

Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed it very much.

Looks wonderful, but I have never tasted spelt. An organic farmer friend of mine grows it. Can you describe the taste?

Happy Thanksgiving Day tomorrow to whomever celebrates! I don't know how to say it in Latin.

I always find these topics fascinating. Thanks for continuing to post them Viggen.

Even tho they called it a partial eclipse for our part of the country, I'd say we got a pretty good show anyway. Lasted from 1:06pm. to about 2:30p on Monday the 21st. Didn't get dark as in black, but definitely a grayish dark, the temp was 89 degrees but at the maximum you could really feel a drop in temperature. Apparently I had better hold on to my glasses as Ohio will be in the path of another eclipse, this time total, in 2024. Just hope I'm still around in 7 years.

Haven't seen anything on the forums about tomorrows event. Has anyone made special plans? Doing it Roman style - sacrifice, festival, dining? I'm in Ohio and will only see the partial, but got my glasses.
