Frome top to bottom,
The Agora or main 'market place' of Rome 1 and 2
Some emperor's triumphal arch, one of the later ones, after they had given up the pretense of being descendants of Augustus 3&4
I have no idea 5
The Wedding Cake, at least that's it's nick name. I think it is a monument to Garibaldi, the one who unified Italy. 6.
Trajan's column I think 7.
I will now go and see if I'm right.

Actually looking at them closer 3 Is the Arch of Constantine ( http://www.citrag.it/archi/page/arches/e_f_ar_ro.htm) and 4 is I think the Arch of Septimus Severus which can be seen in the same article. And I'm pretty sure I'm right the last one is Trajan's Column.

I have never been to Rome, so thank you for the pictures and also for the comments :-)

Beautiful!

In the third picture, the barrier there looks to me like little stick figures holding hands (with red X in between) but some of thier heads have been knocked off! XD

4th pic: any idea what the writing along the top of the arch says?

5th: I LOVE THIS SHOT! Very dramatic!

All great, thanks for sharing.

Quite a beautiful old place--it would be great if there weren't so many people there, now.
