The trip was not for pleasure alone. We were learning art history, history and about culture as we moved along. It was important to take some notes on what we visited for later study and reference because we would write essays and take quizzes based on what we had experienced. The museums in Rome were interesting in that there were no guarantees a museum would be opened when it said it was open even if it housed extremely important works. I walked, rode the train or took the bus to a number of places only to find the amazing art I wanted to experience was in a museum that was temporarily closed for no apparent reason. In the pictures obverse and reverse of a museum ticket from Rome. On an average day while in Rome I spent 15-18 hours exploring.
Visited the Roman Forum. Saw Castor & Pollux temple, Rostrum, Colosseum, Constantine Arch, Arch of Titus, Marcus Aurelius Column (My hero), Pantheon, Obelisks from Egypt, Bronze Boxer in the Diocletian Baths.
