The final photos from the museum and some from some additional roman ruins around the town.

First, me and Menerva!

Next is Justin and Spencer.... ok.

The next two are related to the temple. The first is the only remaining pillar of eight that were the face of the temple were Jupiter's sculpture was housed. The next is of the plaquard that describes and displays what the temple looked like.

The last one is of the "Theater." This was originally thought to be a theater and was so named but after additional study and further finds in the area, it is thought to be a government meeting house. Right in the center is a stone that if you stand on it and talk, NOT shout, someone sitting up were I took the photo could hear, we tried it. Also from that point, you could here you own voice reverberate back to you in amazing clarity. The final amazing aspect of this space was that one could actually talk into the seating area and someone on the other side of the theater could hear what you were say as if you were standing right next to them rather than on the other side of the theater!

Wow.... what a pair, Jake and Menerva. Although, it should be argued that Jake's wife EVELYN should be in statue form, due to her incredible and flawless form of beauty. It should be an art.

And... I don't know what to do with my hands....
