Folowing the advice of VT member "Lacristina" I visited the two Capitolino museums and found them very good as what concerns the artistic and historic value of the exposed objects as well as the presentation.
Here a few pics. Comments maybe written later. |

|  | Spinario: "Boy removing thorn from foot". |
| | Lupa - Louve romaine - She-wolf Why is there no specific English word for a female wolf like in other languages? |
| Capitolino museum - Dying gaul. |
| | Capitolino Galate. |
| Capitolino museum - Marcus-Aurelius statue. |
| | The original Marcus-Aurelius equestrian statue. |
| Capitolino museum - Sabina. |

Now I must look for this Monte Argentario area. Must be a lovely day trip. Ciao, Carol | Nemorino Mon Jun 1, 2009 22:57 UTC
Me again, just checking back to read your new tips and updates since my last visit to this page on October 9, 2008. I hope Emperor Augustus had a sense of humor & laughed when his curule chair collapsed in the Theatre of Marcellus. (But I doubt it.) | MM212 Mon Jun 1, 2009 22:54 UTC
Je vois que nous partageons une fascination de la Ville éternelle: i pini di roma, foro romano, les églises, et les musées. J'ai même lu les Mémoires d'Hadrien (en français)! Rome me manque déjà... | hunterV Fri May 29, 2009 19:45 UTC
