Photo Friday: Going Underground

Cryptoportiucs on the Palatine.  A Photo by Susan Sanders.

Today, on Photo Friday, photographer Susan Sanders takes us to the Palatine Hill for a walk through an underground passageway, or cryptoportiucs, that served as an underground passageway for the Domus Tiberiana or Palace of Tiberius allowing easy movement from one side of the palace to another.

Susan shot this photo on a dark and rainy day, so that only the dim light  thrown into the passageway by means of the windows in the vault gives pattern and texture to the mosaic floor below.

To enjoy more of Susan’s photographs of Rome, visit her photo blog: Rome With A View.
