Last Remaining Marble Seats

Rome, Italy

Actually I read that all the marble seats in the Colosseum were destroyed. For 1000 years the site
was used as nothing more than a quarry so I assume these were re-constructed to show an example of how they looked back in the day.

The VIP section!! Of course. If these are recreations of the originals they are effective in portraying a certain exclusiveness that comes with rank.

Haven't seen the seats last year, but it is a good surprise to see them. And without all the tourists it is a beautiful capture of this old treasure. BV
