[ATTACH=full]1028841[/ATTACH] When you get down to the level of the Forum, you can look back up and see where you were (way at the top): [ATTACH=full]1028842[/ATTACH] It is easy to walk right past the Palatine Museum, which is well off the main pathway across the Palatine. It is devoted to the story of the Palatine Hill. I almost didn't go in, but then decided to and was rewarded with quite a few busts of emperors. I took photos in right profile as much as I could. At first I will not identify the emperor in the photo. I invite you, not to blurt out who it is, but to post of coin of that emperor ([B]without identifying the emperor[/B]). Then, after a few photos have been posted I will confirm who the bust was attributed to. Then I will move on to another bust.
