The lure of low cost, lightweight & independent travel once again beckons. Living in youth hostels & pensions, eating off the side of the road with long cramped rides on buses, trains, ferries carting only what we can carry on our backs. The post GFC environment sees me once again hitting well worn tracks to explore cultures, sights and interact with people.

Arch of Titus
An imposing structure, the Arch of Titus stands proud on the via Sacra as you march up the hill from the Colosseum on route to the forum.
The arch was constructed in 82 AD by Emperor Domititian to commemorate the death of Titus, his older brother, known for the seige of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
