085_Rome_Hadrian's_Villa

Rome_Hadrian's_Villa. Both this place and Pompeii have disabused me of the notion that
the Romans built with marble. What they built with was brick, lots of brick, which
they then faced with marble. After 2000 or so years, it's amazing that even this much is still standing.
