Got to thinking… have you ever seen any Titan statues?

There was the forearm of one in a Turkish museum. Can’t remember if it was for Ephesus or Thermessos — anyway, I think this is it:

The arm is much taller than a human…

I’ve “done” Rome, but I really really want to see Greece (particularly Pompeii and Herculaneum) and Troy. One day…. too many plans, too little time :)

I am fascinated by Greece and Greek mythology, and I always thought being a professor would be such an amazing job… I say go for it!

So cool! Yes, some of those would be great for a PowerPoint lecture ;) That Coliseum photo is beautiful, and I like the Minoan snake goddess statue.

My family has a bronze copy of the Augustus of Prima Porta (I’d guess it’s about 2 ft tall) in our front hall. We, uh, like to make him hold things (e.g. sprig of holly at Christmas). But it would be cool to see the real thing!

Wow, what pictures - it’s such an amazing feeling to see up close some of the things that have been around for such a long time. I remember when I saw the Book of Kells in Dublin, I just burst into tears!
