Description
The Colosseum in Rome was interesting to visit not just for the chance to see the architecture inside but the slightly aerial view of the sites of ancient Rome that lay outside that ancient amphitheater.
This was one such view, that I felt had an incredibly Italian feel to it, even without the ancient architecture, just the roll of the landscape alone.
In the foreground is the Arch of Constantine, a triumphal arch erected in the 4th century. In the distance is the ancient Palatine Hill with the church of San Bonaventura al Palatino on its peak. When you read of ancient Rome, this is the very heart of it and still covered in ancient monuments and architecture.
There's something poetic about using an ancient Roman arch as a natural frame for this vista. After all, the arch is one of the major architectural innovations of that ancient empire.
