New on 500px : Trajan’s Forum – Rome by nicolamastrandrea by nicolamastrandrea

Trajan’s Market is a large complex of #ruins in the #city of #Rome, #Italy, located on the #ViadeiForiImperiali, at the opposite end to the #Colosseum. The surviving buildings and structures, built as an integral part of #TrajansForum and nestled against the excavated flank of the #QuirinalHill, present a living model of life in the Roman capital and a glimpse at the continuing restoration in the city, which reveals new treasures and insights about Ancient Roman architecture.

Thought to be the world’s oldest shopping mall, the arcades in Trajan’s Market are now believed by many to be administrative offices for Emperor Trajan. The shops and apartments were built in a multi-level structure, and it is still possible to visit several of the levels. Highlights include delicate marble floors and the remains of a library.

New on 500px : Temple of Antas by TeresaLeone by TeresaLeone

The Temple of Antas is an ancient Carthaginian-Roman temple in the commune of Fluminimaggiore, southern Sardinia, Italy.[1] It is located in an area colonised by the Carthaginians and then by the Romans, attracted by its iron and lead deposits.[2]

It consists of a Roman temple, under whose steps are the remains of the Carthaginian one, which was dedicated to the god Sid Addir, a later incarnation of the local god Sardus Pater Babai, the main male divinity of the Nuragic civilization.

The original temple had been built around 500 BC over a sacred limestone outcrop, and restored around 300 BC. The Roman temple was built by emperor Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD) and restored under Caracalla (213-217 AD). Its remains were discovered in 1836 by general Alberto La Marmora, and rebuilt to the current status in 1967.[3] (wikipedia)
