Twin Tomb, a photo from Rome, Lazio

Photographer's Note

Albano Laziale,
Albano is one of the Castelli Romani towns, being next to the lake of the same name. One of the train lines from Rome ends here. Walking out of the town towards Ariccia, and the great viaduct the joins these two towns. Just down on your right before you cross over is this interesting tomb.
The Tomb of Orazi & Curiazi .. legendary protagonists of the battle between Rome and Alba Longa, and Arinte son of Porsenna, who died in the battle of Aricia (509 bc)

hello,Pete
yes, history was made by men and battles and graves- they were heroes and legendary but dead...for twothousand years and more- always somewhere a war...
and also beautiful Albano in the near of Rome was once such a terrible place!
