  1. Hey Klingan !

     

    I have been getting up to date with your blog (the other one). Great pictures again. Did you do the very first part of the Via Appia Antiqua on foot ? Well, I survived it and you are a young man, so. But you have to be pretty quick on your feet there, no ? And did you see the little 'Quo Vadis?'-church along the way ? It has a real footprint of Christ. Well, not the real one. It is a copy of the real one which they keep at the curch of San Sebastiano or so a bit further on. :)

    And the picture of the Porta Maggiore. I think yours is taken from outside the Walls. I was staying in the square just inside them last time I was in Rome (five years already), so I had a pretty similar view.

     

    Vale optime !

    Hey thanks for the comments! Yup I walked all the way from the Circus Maximus, went into the church (I totally missed the footprint, but I familiarized myself with the Domine Quo Vadis story) and up to the Villa dei Quintili (a new favourite!)

     

    Yep the view is from the outside as I wanted to take the picture in line with the light :D How long were you in Rome for?

  2. I thought you had a Masters in Ancient Studies. How come you're thinking of going into something completely different like engineering?

     

    One degree isn't enough to get a PhD in Sweden (In Ancient History), I need to get at least a bachelors to have a fair chance. The question is in what - Engineering would give me a rather unique perspective (if I can find a good program/good courses), languages would open up much more literature. Both might be though.
