Ancient Rome.  I live in Houston, Texas and the one of the places I wish to see one day is Rome. I wish I could have seen the colloseum in all it's glory. Who was it that destroyed part of it?   |

Jennie, Alaric and his soldiers may have damaged it when they occupied Rome but probably the most damage done was by the civilian population looking for building materials.    |

| I've read that most of the modern Vatican is built from materials taken from whatever Emperor had his enormous estate atop the Capitoline Hill.  Was it Hadrian's estate?  He had quite a reputation as an ostentatious builder. |

Let's face it; thereason why this thread is so short is because you gummy - eyed little perverts (Ladies excluded, it goes without saying) wanted to see more of this.      For a good pornographic read, try "Those who are about to die" by Dan Mannix. Only don't let your Latin master catch you.  Peter  |

Hi,  All you are a little wrong. In 442, 508, 801 and 847 after C. the Colosseum suffered a group of earthquakes that caused a lot of damages and that was the pretext for use it like a quarry in Middle Age.      Valete bene    |
