Ruins of the Acropolis, 1966 - Athens, Greece
These photos (Kodak slides) were also taken by my grandparents while on vacation in 1966, and they've been scanned but not altered. The first image is of the Acropolis of Athens, and in this citadel all the other images except the last are found.
The middle images are of the Parthenon, and also of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, an ancient amphitheater.
Second to last is the Porch of the Caryatids, also known as the "Porch of the Maidens,"which is found at the Erechtheion, an ancient Greek temple in the Acropolis.
The last image is of the Panathenaic Stadium, the location of the Panathenaic Games between the sixth and third centuries BC. The Panathenaic Games were like the Ancient Olympic Games but only Athenians competed. In the late 1800s the stadium was rebuilt, and the first modern Olympic Games took place there in 1896.
Roman Ruins, 1966 - Rome, Italy
These photos of Roman ruins were taken in 1966 by my grandparents. These images are scanned Kodak slides, and they have not been altered. The first image with the inscription is near the Basilica Aemilia of the Forum. More information can be found on the inscription at the Index of Latin Inscriptions at the University of Chicago (97A23.11).
I’m assuming the last image is also in the Forum, and the other slides are some interesting takes of the Colosseum.
