Aosta, Valle d’Aosta, Italy: the rubble core of a Roman wall is exposed around a surviving arch of the Teatro Romano, the 4,000-seat theatre that once served the citizens of the ancient Roman settlement of Augusta Praetoria Salassorum, now the capital of Italy’s Valle d’Aosta region. The theatre was built in the late reign of the first Roman Emperor, Augustus Caesar (63 BC - 14 AD). A distant snow-capped alpine peak is visible through the arch.
