El Fugitivö

Two thousand years ago in London a Roman built a temple to Mithras on the banks of the river Walbrook.  This year a beautiful new museum about this temple has just opened at the new Bloomberg building.  

The Roman Forum can be found in the centre of Rome.  It was a lovely day to walk around and soak up the history.  This is Julius Caesar.  Yes, the Julius Caesar.

It was a beautiful day to visit what is the largest amphitheatre ever built.  Commonly known as the Colosseum this massive structure is actually officially known as the Amphitheatrum Flavium.   The sunlight made it look like the lights had been left on on the second floor!

Pompeii was a Roman city which was suddenly and completely destroyed in AD79 by an eruption from the nearby volcano Vesuvius.  As such it is a incredible time capsule of how Romans lived 2000 years ago.
