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.
