I wish I could go. Since childhood I have had a fascination with the ancient areas. I guess I should have been a archaeologist.

The temple to Vesta is in the middle of the forum; it’s circular with a conical roof.

Yes, spectacular. That, along with Torre Argentina, the place where Caesar was killed and which is now a cat sanctuary were our favorite spots.
Me too, sigh. My goal someday is to do volunteer work at a dig. Not the same thing as being a professional but still not shabby.
This looks almost exactly like the Apollo temple in the Star Trek episode.
