    Great pics. I have my own pics from my visit to Rome 3 years ago. I think I'll upload them when I have time. There's a lot of Roman heritage there. As for Hagia Sophia, I can't make myself to visit it, as well as Istanbul (Constantinople). Because of my ancestry I have a lot of sympathy for Byzantines and what happened to the empire is a vary sad story for me. I'll stop here as if I continue it will derail the thread again.

    I hope you are luckier than me, I could only find these from hundreds of them,
    the remaining pictures most probably lost with last formats during the conversion of OSs.

    It will be wonderful if you can find and upload it does not matter wether here or other thread.

    P.S. I miss my similies :-(

    Some Egypt stuff:


    The red stuff are the remains of the Roman baths in Kom el Dikka, Alexandria.


    Again Kom el Dikka, an ancient Roman "classroom".


    The "houses and workshops" are at Kom el Dikka.


    The theather at Kom el Dikka, wich I think might be Greek, not Roman.


    The column of Diocletianus at Alexandria (also known as Pompey's pillar for some strange reason)


    The famous church remains of Hermopolis Magna, Egypt.


    The remains of one of the gates of Hermopolis (possibly Greek)


    An inscription above the inner gate of one of the two remaining temples at Karanis, made by Nero if I remember correctly.


    The other temple at Karanis.

    Some Istanbul/Constantinopolis/Nova Roma stuff:


    Some Mosaïcs in one of the few (the only?) Byzantine (Medieval Roman :P) churches that didn't become a mosque (I think).


    And another one.


    The Aquaduct as seen from the Galata tower.
    Wheel down, wheel down to southward! Oh, Gooverooska, go!
    And tell the Deep-Sea Viceroys the story of our woe;
    Ere, empty as the shark's egg the tempest flings ashore,
    The Beaches of Lukannon shall know their sons no more!

    Greeeeaaaat pics! Hmmm, when i'll find how to upload pics and when I return home, I'll have some to post here as well (From greek theater in Plovdiv) (Philipopolis is it's old name, founded by Philip, Megas Alexandros father's, as a military settelement, as many of his soldier setteled there after his conquest of this Trakian area. Of corse, at the same emplacement was a trakian setelement, with some object that carbon 14 test proved that the area was already inhabited, as ''urban'' (more village) comunity as far as 2000 BC) Further, a Roman ''circus'' unfortunatly half covered by buildings of the city...
    Opinions are like bacteries : we all have, but it's better to keep them for ourself... (By me!)

    Well, here it is:

    I've uploaded 56 of my photos that were taken in 2007 in Italy. Most of them are Rome itself, some were taken in Tivoli and several in Ostia. Some were taken in Vatican museums, but those are easy to spot :)

    Nice pictures!!

    It really saddens me to see Constantinople in the invaders hands still... I am not a greek, but I really cant bear to see ancient culture turned into public parcs and wonders stripped from their glory or turned in a mosque... I'm not out on a religious discussion here, the EB forum is not the place. So I will not bother to talk how I dislike that...

    Ah, maidens tower, I remember from James Bond, The world is not enough!

    Thank you for sharing again.

    EDIT: Didnt see the second post with pics at first, they are nice too, at least they are untouched and preserved to marvel at! Ive been to Rome too, although they are pressing more on the Italian Unity than the Roman heritage there, the wonders still are good!
