Emulating Emperors…



I seem to recall talking about the veritable statue bounty that you encounter on a trip to the Vatican Museums. Well, here’s some more. This is a pair of Roman Emperors. Sadly I was unable to jot the name down of the above, but below we find Emperor Titus.



Just to wrap up my photos, and so, until someone next sends in pictures from the Vatican, here are a few other random sculptures from the museum.







And this one best describes the look on your face having spent a few hours here facing a monumental (over) load of ancient artefacts, paintings, maps, sculptures, busts, statues, ornaments, ceiling art…
