Today was a short trip. We began by visiting the non-Catholic cemetery in Rome, home of the graves of John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley (famous English poets).
Here is Keats' grave:
Here is Shelley's:
Next to the cemetery is a pyramid erected by Gaius Cestius between 18 and 12 BC and served as the tomb for him and his family.
Inside are some non-remarkable frescoes.
We then went to a branch of the Capitoline Museum. Here we have a statue of Diana.
The goddess Fortuna from the Torre di Largo Argentina temple seen earlier.
Minerva
A toga-clad Roman
and possibly Domitius Corbulo, a famous general under Nero.
