Day 60.

Hard as it is to believe, my stay in Rome is coming to an end rather soon (two weeks). Up until today I have not thought my about when I am to go home, it seemed to be far away but it stuck me today. Oh well, two weeks left, I'll live!

Anywway I've visited the Museo Altemps today, one of Rome's four National Museums.


A male statue, possibly a bachant (Bacchus worshipper). Notice the gold on his hand.


Reminding you of something? It could be this picture from day 56.


Romans conquering barbarians in battle, another sarcophagus. You can notice the similaraties to this one at the Palazzo Massimo which I visited day 24 & 51.


The chapel of the Museo Altemps.


A greek (?) depiction of Aphrodite. The classical museum of Lund used to have a copy of this.


This is what I call hard living! What a job!

Day 42.

As I wrote a few days ago we won't have any epigraphy exercises here as the lecturer is being sick for the moment and there is absolutely no time push in it any time else. I though that it would be sad to miss it all together though so I went to the epigraphy museum at the baths of Diocleatianus and spent all day there with some friends who know Latin very well. No pictures of tombstones today though, they're not that exciting. Maybe later?
