Bringing Rome home to Mississippi! The Never-Ending Column →. Necropoli della Banditaccia and the Catacombe di San Sebastiano. June 5, 2014. I could have spent all day exploring the Necropolis at Cerveteri with its tombs of all shapes and sizes. The most magnificent were the massive round tumuli that housed many dead Etruscans in the past. Thankfully, we didn’t see any of those dead. The tombs were carved from blocks of tufa around the base and dirt was piled on top. This trip was one of my greatest expe...

Bringing Rome home to Mississippi! June 11, 2014. Hello, it’s me, Lana. I’m very sorry this is late–things have been crazy back home. The trip to Rome was amazing! If you’ll remember, I did my site report on the Temple of Vesta and the House of the Vestal Virgins. Numa Pompilius is thought to have built the original temple, but it was restored but Julia Domna, the wife of emperor Septimius Severus in the late 2nd century C.E., and then reconstructed in the 1930’s. The House of the Vestals dates back to t...

Bringing Rome home to Mississippi! June 6, 2014. The Arch of Titus can be described in part as a memorial and part publicity stunt. Titus was a popular emperor who died at the very young age of 50 from the plague. His younger and very unpopular brother, Domitian, commissioned the arch after his death. The marble arch, which was later rebuilt in travertine, was placed on the highest spot on Sacra Via and dedicated in 85 A.D. The arch has an inscription on the front, which is translated to say,. On Walking...

Bringing Rome home to Mississippi! Necropoli della Banditaccia and the Catacombe di San Sebastiano →. June 5, 2014. My laundry hanging on the line. After our first big group dinner, I had to clean a huge balsamic vinegar stain out of a white tank… I showed it to my mother once I was back in the States- she was extremely impressed since the stain was pretty much gone. Julia Stiles ain’t got nothin’ on me! The Eros and Psyche statue from Ostia. Super sweet! Was the Painted Garden. A section of the Painted ...

Bringing Rome home to Mississippi! Walking A Thousand Miles →. June 6, 2014. The Colosseum was the one site I was most looking forward to visiting. The building of the Colosseum was started by Vepasian, finished by Titus, and added to by Domitian, and therefore, it was initially known as the Flavian Amphitheatre. It stands where Nero’s Golden House once stood. Gladiator training center located near the Colosseum. I would share the video, but it would not allow me to upload it.). Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Bringing Rome home to Mississippi! June 4, 2014. Going to Rome was really an extraordinary experience for me. I’d never been to Europe before, and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to go! Some of my favorite sites were of course the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and also the catacombs of St. Sebastian. Rome really is the eternal city it was incredible to see things older than I can really comprehend. Built in 1730 for the glorification of three popes, by Nicola Salvi, it exemplifies the ocean and...
