........another appendage of the Constantine Statue in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. To give you some idea of the enormity - it is 5.5 ft high (approximately 165 cms)and on its pedastal was much higher than my 5'7" stature!

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
It looks to me that Constantine was just ordering a round of Byzantium wine for you, his favorite guest. He was always such a good host! But, I heard that wine just goes to his head...er, where is his head?
Great shot, Patti!

Fantastic detail and clarity Patti and composition perfection, as always:)

Isn't it amazing that this thing is so ancient yet so finely sculpted. He had very artistic hands. Look at that long index finger! He would have made a great pianist if they'd had pianos back then.
Wonder what he was pointing at though - I'm about to search for a mock-up of the whole thing. You did well to get this to stand out so well from the wall, there's great detail and texture.

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.
I think it may be pointing to where the rest of the body is. Great shot Patti!

Great shot, Patti. Such an unusual subject, I've got to, erm, hand it to you. [Ducks hurriedly].

I much appreciate all the comments I receive about my images, but please excuse me if I don't always reply. My interest in Caedes is exceeding my time available!
Think Constatine has to be glad that the Rome climate is very mild as buying mitten would not that cheap, lol.
Great detailed shot of this huge schulpture Patti.

Cornelius was here! (lol) Click HERE to see his work!
This and Aedes Castoris are really thought provoking for me.
I was able to visit Rome back in the 60's. Hasn't changed, thank you very much, Patti.
