Fortuna Primagenia, out and about in Rome

The column of Marcus Aurelius at sunset, right after coming out of Zara.
Vintage shopping (is terrible in Rome) with Ali and Jackie.
The Spanish steps. (I proceeded to fall down several of them after taking this photo.)
Standing on the (huge) temple of Fortuna Primagenia in Praeneste. It was a Republican temple, possibly built by a returning general with war spoils. People made pilgrimages to it from all over. Pretty cool. That's all I remember. (We went in March!)
View from the top.
