Photo Friday: Romulus is King!

Romulus is King.  A photo by Susan Sanders.

It’s been a hectic week here at the eCool Compound.  We dedicated several days to the celebration of Rome’s victory, taking in such exciting events as a chariot race in the Circus Maximus, the projection of She-Wolves on Piazza del Campidoglio, and a re-enactment of the Foundation of Rome.

Through it all, Susan Sanders was out in the city with a multitude of cameras strapped around her neck and arms, shooting scene after scene.  We’ve already been admiring her documentation of Rome’s birthday events in various posts listed above, thus it will come as little surprise to discover that this week’s Photo Friday is given over to further illustration of Rome’s fabulous 2762nd birthday.

The photo above shows the re-enactment of Rome’s foundation, in particular, the very moment when King Numitor and Romulus see 12 vultures flying over the Palatine Hill, so that it’s clear which of the twins will rule the new city.

Stay tuned.  We’re going to feature another great photo from Rome’s birthday tomorrow.  And, if you want to see even more shots, click on over to Susan Sanders’ photo blog, Rome With A View.
