The porta Nigra, tha twas a heavily fortified gateway? I have seen a reconstruction impression in I think Connellys?
Great pictures, the basillica is indeed an impressive building, but you would think they would have used the space for more floors....but then appearances said much too.... :roll:
Obviously I have a lot of sightseeing to do..... :oops:
I thought the foot was from Constantines statue? in Rome?

Ahhhh, ok. I see about the foot.
I think with the gate, all the windows were artillery ports? But highly elaborate true...which is what I meant by fortified, sorry. I am amazed so much still survives...

Pictures look great. There seems to be a lot more neat Roman stuff there than I had previously realized. I can't wait to get there! 4 months to the day and counting . . .
