Pat i'm in
Rome right now and dug up this old
thread. In my picture from last year I showed the new excavations between the arch of
Titus and the Coloseum on the Palatine
side. Going back yesterday that entire
side of the
hill is closed and being excavated. In fact you can no longer walk along that entire
side of the Palatine
hill. I'll be going back on Saturday to give a tour to some friends who have never been. Do you want any pictures in particular of the
area?
The entire site on the Oppian is also closed off. I managed a few shots through the fence but was unable to do it any justice. They have giant billboards up on the Oppian saying it is getting a major overhaul.
I'm using an ipad here in
Rome so I can't upload any photos for another week but I'd be more then happy to take any pictures you may want. Just let me know what you want as a reference point and the direction.
