Rome - The Ancient Agora


This was our last stop of the day.  The Acropolis was less strenuous that expected.  The Roman Agora was really small.  The Ancient Agora had a lot of stuff spread over more area.  Our first glimpse was from a busy restaurant street.  The first scene houses the museum - with graffiti on it.  A train track runs directly in front of it - and the trains are brightly painted with lettering on it.





Restaurant Street.
One of our first views once inside the Ancient Agora - a row of statues. 
A triad of a capital in the foreground, a church in the middle and the Acropolis at the top.







The detail has  eroded but you can still see figures.

A "graveyard" of  broken statues and images.
Some beautiful flowers - not sure what they are.
Inside the Church of the Holy Apostles.






Not sure what these are - but they look cool.


Inside the museum.




Here's what I want for my 70th birthday - but has to be my face.  I will put vodka in it.
Pottery showing the different periods of Greek history.


Love the geometric period!


A grave of a young girl.



After we left the Ancient Agora we  walked to the nearest large street to catch a cab.  Just a few street scenes.


This guy is carrying chairs down the street.
