Bronze Doors

Bronze Doors, originally uploaded by MrJennings.

These ancient doors were originally on the Roman Senate house (the Curia) in the Roman forum. It is likely that they survive to this day only because they were incorporated into the basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano.

Lightning Strike

Lightning Strike, originally uploaded by MrJennings.

The leg of the famous Capitoline She-Wolf. According to Cicero, a famous bronze statue of a she-wolf was struck by lightning. This statue shows a repair mark that is sometimes believed to be from that lightning bolt.

(The statues of the twin boys were added in the Renaissance.)
