Teatro Marcelo, Roma

[ancientromebuildings]

The Greco-Roman theatre of Monte San Nicola in Campania is built into the side of the mountain and offers a gorgeous view of the surrounding countryside. It has an adjacent temple and it was probably in use between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD after which it was abandoned and forgotten. It was rediscovered in 2001 when a local historian noticed an outline of the ruins from an airplane after a recent bushfire had cleared the vegetation covering them.

Pompeii

Watercolours by Luigi Bazzani

Pompeii bath (1902)

House of the Attic (1902)

Atrium of the House of the Vettii (1895)

Street in Pompeii (1902)

All of these watercolours were made by the artist in situ at the time those buildings and streets were being discovered. 'The House of the Attic', a watercolour from 1902 (the excavations of that house ended in 1905) it is an invaluable work since the house has deteriorated to the point of having completely lost the wonderful red color of its walls as well as all the beautiful colors and decorations of its Lararium. His artworks are so precise that they look like photographs.

La palabra Have en latín se traduciría como bienvenidos. En la entrada de una villa pompeyana se localizó el equivalente de nuestros felpudos pero en piedra, no me digáis que no es una maravilla 😀😀😀
