Another sculpture from Igor Mitoraj, again it fits really well with the ruins rather than distracting from #pompeii #art #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Ancient City Of Pompeii)
These were storage pots made of clay where people would have kept their food, spices etc.. #pompeii #history #historynerd #historygeek ##italy🇮🇹 (at Ancient City Of Pompeii)
This area was apparently the local gladiator's armoury. Makes sense as there's an auditorium on the opposite side #pompeii #gladiators #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Ancient City Of Pompeii)
And here is the auditorium on the other side. The views were amazing from here! #pompeii #gladiators #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Ancient City Of Pompeii)
Some religious idols in what was an area of worship. Apparently, all religions were tolerated in Pompeii. #pompeii #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Ancient City Of Pompeii)
Basically, this was probably the equivalent of your local Wetherspoons, dunno if the had as many punch ups! #pompeii #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Ancient City Of Pompeii)
The Pompeii equivalent of the posh ends, Hampstead Heath maybe? #pompeii #history #gardens #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Scavi Archeologici Di Pompei)
How the other half lived in Pompeii, a dining room with water feature at the rear for keeping things cool! #pompeii #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Scavi Archeologici Di Pompei)
The amphitheatre of Pompeii, where blood was shed in the name of entertainment.. #pompeii #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Amphitheatre Pompei)
Loved this statue, looks like he's standing guard over the city.. #pompeii #history #historynerd #art #italy🇮🇹 (at Pompeii Ruins and Mt. Vesuvius)
Forgot to add a few of the other pics from #pompeii this was a recovered crypt. #pompeii #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Scavi Archeologici Di Pompei)
I know the sky looks dull, but it was actually very hot! Had a quick drink and snapped this great view of The Vatican #vatican #vaticancity #history #historynerd #historygeek #rome #italy🇮🇹 (at St Peters Basilica, Vatican City)
Blazing sunshine at the entrance to the Pantheon #rome #pantheon #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Pantheon, Rome)
The circular design on the roof & the ceiling let's plenty of natural warmth and light in whilst also helping to drain away heavy rain water #pantheon #architecture #design #history #historynerd #rome #italy🇮🇹 (at Pantheon, Rome)
The spectacular Trevi Fountain. Was kinda busy round here, so I'd say get there early! #trevifountain #rome #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Trevi Fountain Rome)
Amazes me how people in Europe can just relax in any spot they find, even amongst monuments! #romebynight #rome #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Trastevere Roma, Italia)
The bridges are always a hive of activity #romebynight #rome #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Piazza Trilussa)
This place looks even more majestic at night, one of my favourite places to visit #castelsantangelo #romebynight #rome #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Castel Sant'angelo, Roma)
One of Michaelangelo's most famous sculptures looks even better up close #vatican #vaticancity #rome #history #historynerd #italy🇮🇹 (at Vatican City, Basilica Of St Peter)
