<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 2967848, member: 80147&quot;][ATTACH=full]727599[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727582[/ATTACH] A while ago I come across this article in the newspaper that I am not sure if you members are aware of, that may be of interest to some especially those planning to visit Rome in the future. On my last trip there I was lucky enough to get time to explore the Mausoleum and nearby Ara Pacis Augustae, could only see the outside walls of the Mausoleum but this pic and article shows a view from the top. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/16/giant-mausoleum-rome-held-remains-emperor-augustus-restored/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_fb" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/16/giant-mausoleum-rome-held-remains-emperor-augustus-restored/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_fb" rel="nofollow">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/16/giant-mausoleum-rome-held-remains-emperor-augustus-restored/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_fb</a></p><p>Also if you look at the newspaper pic you will see another building just off to the left, a glass walled building protecting the Ara Pacis Augustae, my pic below shows what&#039;s inside. You have the Altar of Pax (peace) inside an enclosure this type of structure is depicted on coins of Tiberius and Nero which a lot of you own, here is two of mine.[ATTACH=full]727602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727604[/ATTACH]</p><p>Hopefully the Mausoleum will be opened to the public soon and will be a tremendous addition to an already fantastic place to visit ROME.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
