Picture Post 4


Outside of the Colosseum walls



Interior of the Colosseum, the view from a senator's seat



Colosseum at ground level. The arena floor was made out of wood planks and has been removed to reveal the rooms underneath the floor that house the animals, slaves, backdrops, etc.



All that's left of the Roman forum



This dome is in the Pantheon and is made entirely out of concrete with no structural supports. Either engineering genius, or sort of dangerous


The hallways of the Vatican museum all looked like this, covered from ceiling to floor with paintings


The secretive Vatican archives



Me mailing stuff from the Vatican post office


Interior of St. Peter's Basilica, but the picture doesn't do it justice


The Spanish Steps after a rain (the guy on the right is a street performer)
