Pictures from the Capitoline Museum

When we couldn't find the Bourghese Galleries we headed for the Capitoline Museum. What a nice surprise that place was!

Todd and the giant statue of Constantine the Great, the Roman Emperor who converted his empire to Christianity.

Marcus Aurelius. Another Roman Emperor. I think we saw this same statue in Turkey.

View of the Forum from the Capitoline Museum.
A Roman copy of Praxiteles Venus - Maybe this is where Michelangelo got his idea for coconut boobs!
