Capitoline_Hill_ Rome_Italy_065.tif
Rome. Italy. View of the central section of what remains of the Portico of Octavia built in honour by Augustus for his sister Octavia. Dating from 23 BC, the Portico once occupied the space of an entire city block (132 x 140 metres in size) and was damaged by fire in 80 AD. It was restored in the 3rd century AD and undertook further modifications in the middle ages including the removal of some columns and replacing them with the arch.
