Visiting the Roman Coliseum where gladiators, wild beasts, and religious martyrs faced death before throngs of cheering spectators was…eerie. How strange it was to stand amid the ruins where the spirit of death continued to hang over all. There but for the grace of God…I thought.
Walking the roads of the ancient city of Pompeii, decimated by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius was…eerie. It felt as though we were walking upon the dead.

Excellent choice for the theme! I visited both, though I never entered the Colosseum- I just climb the fence around it ;). I like your Colosseum interior shot!

Thanks! Could’ve spent more time in Rome where history literally surrounds you.

I’d love to re-visit both those places again.

Spending more than just a day or two in either place would be my ideal, especially Rome. We were there on a Mediterranean cruise. We stayed in Rome for a couple of days prior to sailing. Europe as a whole fascinates me.
