I'm happy with this photo; we're looking past film crew trucks (21st C) and through the Arch of Janus (4th C) to San Giorgio in Velabro (which is a welter of medieval construction and post 1993 reconstruction). The Velabro is the site of the swamp, long drained by the Cloaca Maxima, where the She-wolf found Romulus and Remus.
