Over looking the part of the Forum from a higher view point near the old palace in Rome. It was quite chilly that morning, but taking in the history is most definitely worth it. The Colosseum can be seen in the background.
Temple of Antonius Pius, built in 141 AD to honour the empress.
Arch of Septimus Severus (Arco di Settimio Severo) is made from white marble and dedicated in 203 AD to commemorate the Parthian victories of Emperor Septimus. It's quite amazing to see the designs within each block. To think it is so old, and stood the test of time.
