Carnuntum trip (digital) 2013

Four numismatists sitting on the Roman toilets at Carnuntum, Austria. From left to right: Jan Pelsdonk, Andrew Meadows, Alexander Bursche and Sam Moorhead.

This is a replica of a Jupiter column in the small town of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg in Austria which partly overlies the Roman sites of Carnuntum. For Jupiter columns see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Column .

This is a very nice looking circular church in Petronell-Carnuntum in Austria. It has some impressive cracks in the walls! Sadly, I couldn't be picky about the light which is excellent for showing the architectural details but boring in terms of sky! Often circular churches are linked to the Kinghts Templar but I could find very little about this one.

I was posing in the doorway. Sorry about the cut off top of the doorway but I wasn't holding the camera, obviously!

The doorway without me.
