I just returned from vacation in Croatia and will be back to posting updates soon. I also got some pretty good material and photos while on the trip to be used in some upcoming posts. I got a very good fix of Roman history this trip as Illyria and Dalmatia were both conquered during the Republic and stayed Roman for almost 8 centuries.
The Roman Ampitheater at Pula, Croatia built in the 1st Century A.D. The most structurally complete Roman ampitheater in the world and 6th Largest.

Nice picture. I’m not sure if I’ve seen amphitheater before.

The picture does not do it justice. The ampitheater is way more impressive when you are standing in it. Unfortunately the night before we got there they put on a Gladiatorial reenactment. If I had known we would have driven a day earlier.
