This is SO wonderful...we have all heard about the Roman Empire endlessly...and this one looks like it may have been old in the time of Jesus! Obviously the window screens, the doors and the front posts are more modern, but I never, never expected a Roman dwelling to have that rough an exterior! Looks like plaster over brick or stone. Maybe it was in a fire once, which is why it is no longer smooth. Wonderful pic, has my brain buzzing. Nice exposure, good focus and light.
