Great image and info, Dave. Wonderfully composed with so much to see.
I didn't realise the the Colosseum was built just seven years prior to the mega eruption of Vesuvious. But I guess that Rome is just far enough away not to have been effected, apart from some volcanic dust of course, but maybe not the earth quakes.

Interesting information, Dave. Is this from Wikipedia, or from your memory of the time?
A wonderfully framed image which shows so much of interest. I like this very much; the threes on the right hand side (what are they by the way?) are very impressive and add a lovely touch of drama and scale.

The trees are stone pine's Graham, botanical name Pinus pinea, also known as the Italian stone pine, umbrella pine and parasol pine,
