#RomanSiteSaturday

1 post1 participant0 posts today

The so-called Grande Tempio in Luni. Luni is one of the Latin colonies and it was founded with 2,000 free men in 177 BC by Publius Aelius, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, and Gnaeus Sicinius. It was a military stronghold for the campaigns against the Ligures. The temple had a Republican and an Imperial phase and it was abandoned in the fourth century AD. #RomanSiteSaturday

🪔 For #RomanSiteSaturday: the Corinth Channel or the Emperor #Nero's attempt to cut through the Isthmus. The relief on the photo depicts a figure standing beneath a pediment with its left arm resting on an object and right arm folded.
🪔 Archaeological interpretations of the relief suggest either a direct representation of Emperor Nero or Hercules resting after his labors. 📸 me
