| the road around the Acropolis to the Museum |
 |
| under my feet - mosaic floor! (the black dots are on the glass) |
 |
| ancient foundations - people have been throwing coins into the hole (left) from above |
Then, in the lobby there were pretty cool models of the Acropolis at different time periods - they allowed photographs for these displays:
 |
| the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, at the base of the Acropolis |
 |
| how would you like to climb that ramp? Yikes! |
 |
| this one was to show how the city had grown around the Acropolis |
 |
| churches, anyone? |
 |
| Aristotle - this bust is the best one that has been found, and it was found in the excavation under the museum! |
More shots of the ancient Athens excavation:
 |
| the round foundation was for a Byzantine church |
 |
| I am fascinated with this type of mosaic flooring - I have seen a couple of examples of it, now |
 |
| foundations date from 2nd to 5th century BCE |
