The Roman gate called Arco d'Augusto. The upper storey was destroyed in a siege conducted on the order of Pope Pius II in 1463, although a bas-relief of it was immediately made on an adjacent wall. Annexed to the arch are the church and the loggia of St. Michael, the former having a noteworthy Renaissance portal.

Ġgantija is a megalithic temple complex on the Mediterranean island of Gozo (part of Malta), constructed by the Sicani tribe from the Italian island of Sicily, when the people first inhabited Malta.[1] The two temples of Ġgantija on the island of Gozo are notable for their gigantic Neolithic structures, which were erected during the Neolithic Age (c. 3600-2500 BC). At more than 5500 years old, the Ġgantija temples amongst the world's oldest free-standing structures and the world's oldest religious structures. The temples were possibly the site of an Earth Mother Goddess Fertility Cult, with numerous figurines and statues found on site believed to be connected with that cult.

In the Maltese language, Ġgantija means "belonging to the giants". According to local Gozitan legend, the temples were built by the giants who resided in Gozo during ancient times. It is said that the temples themselves were used by the giants as watchtowers.

Falerii Novi was a walled town in the Tiber River valley, about 50km north of Rome and 6km west of Civita Castellana. It was created by the Romans, who resettled the inhabitants of Falerii Veteres in this much less defensible position after a revolt in 241 BC. The town is situated on a slight volcanic plateau.

Recently, the town has been surveyed as part of the Tiber Valley Project, showing the urbanisation of this area by the Romans.

The church of S. Maria of Falerii is the most visible location left among the ruins.]]> Remains of the walled city of Falerii Novi

Menkaure's Pyramid
[Info] [GM] [LL] [YM]

Menkaure's Pyramid, located on the Giza Plateau on the southwestern outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, is the smallest of the three Pyramids of Giza. It was built to serve as the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure.

Menkaure's Pyramid had an original height of 65.5 meters (215 feet).It now stands at 62 m (203 ft) tall with a base of 103.4 m (339 ft). Its angle of incline is approximately 51°20′25″. It was constructed of limestone and granite.

Richard William Howard Vyse, who first visited Egypt in 1835, discovered in the upper antechamber the remains of a wooden anthropoid coffin inscribed with Menkaure's name and containing human bones. This is now considered to be a substitute coffin from the Saite period, and radiocarbon dating on the bones determined them to be less than 2,000 years old[citation needed], suggesting either an all-too-common bungled handling of remains from another site, or access to the pyramid during Roman times. Deeper into the pyramid Vyse came upon a beautiful basalt sarcophagus, rich in detail with a bold projecting cornice. Unfortunately, this sarcophagus now lies at the bottom of the Mediterranean, sinking on October 13 1838, with the ship Beatrice, as she made her way between Cartagena and Malta, on the way to Great Britain.[1] It is one of only a handful of extant Old Kingdom sarcophagi. The anthropoid coffin, however, was successfully transported on a separate ship and may be seen today at the British Museum.]]> Menkaure's Pyramid

@ 2008-05-14 03:57:58
Opposite the “Domine quo Vadis ?” church, at the crossroads between the via Appia and the via Ardeatina, stands the sepulchre that is thought Tito Flavio Abascanto, influential liberto of the emperor Domitianus, had built for his wife Priscilla, who died young and whose funeral is described by the poet Statius (Silvae,V,1).
The base of the sepulchre is quadrangular, it was originally covered in blocks of travertino stone and contains a burial chamber set out as a Greek cross in which the sarcofagi were placed and upon which a cylindrical structure with thirteen niches rests. The entrance to the tomb was from the side opposite the via Appia: the original access is occluded by an early twentieth century farm house, where cheese was made until a few decades ago. In late mediaeval times a watch tower made of re-used brick and pieces of marble was added to the sepulchre]]> Sepolchre of Emperess Priscilla

Remains of the imperial residence which was built between the end of the second and beginning of the third century A.D.
Various parts of the imperial palace, which was enlarged upon by the Emperor Constantine and his wife, Elena, remain including parts of the walls, part of the imposing apse which formed the basilica and various "domus" (houses) which were probably used by the courtiers as palace residences. Several splendid black and white mosaics, laid as paving, have been found in these houses while in one particular house colourful wall frescoes have been recently excavated.]]> Remains of Imperial Palace
