Taken in 2005 in the Roman Forum in my favorite city, Rome.
To just imagine that countless Emperors and Roman Citizens walked this road....(people such as Cicero, Augustus, Nero, Pompey the Great, Julius Caesar, Marc Antony
perhaps even Cleopatra herself on her one and only visit to this great city)....and that now I am following in their footsteps, along the path and perhaps the very stones upon which they tread. Never fails to fill me with awe.....
