#1
<br>
A new photo from Mars (Opportunity mission):<br>
<br>
<img src="http://users.libero.it/sabsab/titus/Servilia Martia.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br>
<br>
It can be red yet:<br>
<br>
Servilia / Atsinna / Mel(lariensis) an(norum) L / h(ic) s(ita) e(st) s(it) t(ibi) t(erra) M(artis) l(evis)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I could not resist to make that fake photo: these stones are like a roman road...<br>

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...

Something similar is on the cover of my copy of "Inherit the Stars" by James Patrick Hogan!<br>
