A photo taken from a moving tour bus in Rome shows the massive, weathered stone façade of the Teatro di Marcello (Theatre of Marcellus), an ancient open-air theatre commissioned by Julius Caesar and completed under Augustus around 13 BCE. The structure features two preserved tiers of large arches built from travertine, with later medieval and Renaissance buildings rising directly above them, giving the theatre its distinctive layered look. The cloudy sky casts a soft grey light over the scene. In the foreground, cars blur past, emphasizing the movement of the bus. To the right stands the Temple of Apollo Sosianus, identifiable by its three standing Corinthian columns that remain from the original Republican temple. Behind it, an ochre-colored church dome peeks above the rooftops. The image captures a fleeting yet striking moment where ancient Roman architecture and modern city life coexist side by side as the tour heads toward its starting point.
