On a day off, we made good on my pledge to return to nearby Mary Maggie for some better pix. Alas, the light was no better and the mosaics just as far away, but here's a sampling anyway.
 |
| Along the way, an exposed part of the Aurelian wall; note the recycling |
 |
| Ditto |
 |
| Now in the great ancient 5th century church again, looking at the totally mosaic'd triumphal arch |
 |
| And the half dome |
 |
| Crowning the Queen of Heaven |
 |
| Lower right of the arch: Bethlehem |
 |
| Lower left: Jerusalem |
 |
| And now a few of the mosaics over the nave: battle scenes, mostly; don't ask me... |
 |
| Lots of battles...I must have been looking at the Old Testament side, where the light was better... |
