Ancient arch, Rome, Italy

Posted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 28 January 2008 in Architecture.

Another shot I can't categorize because I forgot to write a note. Perhaps it was somewhere at Forum Romanum, I don't know. But I loved these tiles with their many different roses.

@Steven: This is indeed more interesting than a cleaned monument. Last year they started cleaning up the Pantheon's ceiling and I'm curious how it will look like compared to the 'dirty' one I was used to.

Bharath from Ealing, United Kingdom

very nice detail. The style is similar to what I recently saw at the Rosalyn Abbey in Scotland.
Very nice.

@Bharath: It's absolutely fascinating to see the patterns that were templates for following centuries. Thanks!
