1) the bust of Brutus that I mentioned from the Museums. One of the coolest pieces of Roman art that I have seen. It was so very life like and the scowl on his face just seems to say "I created Freedom! What have you done with your life?!?" I enjoyed it a lot!
2) We also found the Senate house in the forum, which i mentioned before, but it was rather awesome the scope of it. Even though it was small, this was where the Senate sat and decided matters of state. Also a little known fact but Caesar actually rebuilt the Senate house, which is the one we went in, moving it slightly and having it so the doors of the Senate house opened into his forum that he had built for the city. Impressive if you ask me. lastly it was so small that all the Senators could not fit into it, and actually most had to wait outside building during a meeting. good little tid bits there.
3) look back at the picture of Brutus and think about your life....
