Capitaline Museum

The Capitoline Museum rests on one of the 7 hills of Italy, the hill it is on bears the same name as the museum. It was extreemly impressive.

Here are a few samplings of what I saw today:


Hercules


Emporer Marcus Arrilius, this statue was not melted down by the early christians as most bronze statues were, because it was mistakenly thought to be a statue of Emporer Constantine.

The Imperial Forum




Part of the Colossus Statue in Rome



Me and the Guys with Rome in the backround

Busts of famous people in the Capitoline
