Ancient Road

[   I am reading a book, coincidentally enough, about an ancient road called the Appian Way.  It is about the murder of one patrician by another, in 53 BC; an event that actually took place. And, here's an internet image of the paving stones that were used to build this important route.   ]

this way remains yet 

old Roman spirits passing

marvel of ancients

A photo from another year......Here in New England, winter is just beginning - first real snow last night!  So I certainly cannot celebrate the prompt.....I will write with lots of wishful thinking!
