The Roman Coliseum. From the rooms at the bottom of this photo, covered in ancient days, Beric walked out to fight as a gladiator.
(from Beric the Briton)
Huge crowds watched the deadly games at the Roman Coliseum. In those days, the whole exposed lower level you see here was covered with a solid floor. (from Beric the Briton)
Another view of the vast ruins of the Coliseum (from Beric the Briton)
Jim at the Roman Coliseum: today we smile, but to Beric, this place was no laughing matter. (from Beric the Briton)
Randy, a modern visitor to the ancient Coliseum. (from Beric the Briton)
Titus's Arch in Rome shows captives and treasures being carried off to Rome after the fall of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple. To the Romans, a triumph; to the Jews and early Christians, a tragedy. (from For the Temple)
Jim and Randy in the Roman Forum a dozen steps from the spot on which Marc Antony spoke at Julius Caesar's funeral. (from Julius Caesar and the Story of Rome)
Michelangelo's dome of St. Peter's in the Vatican, photographed from a hilltop in Rome.

Hercules battles a centaur in this famous statue from Italy. Michelangelo and Leonardo grew up around such statues and learned from them.
(from Greek Myths, Masters of the Renaissance)
Detail from Raphael's masterpiece "The School of Athens", from the Vatican. Famously, Raphael used great artists of his own time to represent the great Greek philosophers. He did this without having these people sit and model for him. Instead, he painted each from memory. In the front, Raphael's portrait of a thoughtful Michelangelo (in purple); in the center, Raphael shows Leonardo (in red and purple) representing the ancient Greek master Plato. (from A Treasury of Wisdom: Stories of Hope and Inspiration, Masters of the Renaissance)
In Raphael's great painting, "The School of Rome", he painted himself observing from a corner. That's Raphael in a black hat, peeking out from behind the white robed man on the right. (from A Treasury of Wisdom: Stories of Hope and Inspiration)
