These two photos are of the excavation of the Temple of the Vestal Virgins. Appropriately, the excavators were young women - archaeology students, probably. They didn't answer when asked if they were the temple's virgins.

| This is the Coliseum in Rome and the stray/feral
cats of the Coliseum with a lady who feeds them. There were several
ruins in the city that had become the homes of the cats, each with a group
of people to feed them and try to find homes for them. The cats look
healthy and spend much time sunning themselves on ancient Roman statue
and the remains of glorious buildings.
