Wow... image the history there...do you know what year it dates to at all?

The image is good...the red train kinda sets it off.. I'd crop the road off at the top though...:)

Hi Bindii,

thanks for looking and commenting.
I had a bit of a look for information on Mogontiacum's (Mainz's) amphitheatre - however good information is a bit difficult to get.

It's amazing that some so old can be in such close quarters as something so new. It's unexpected, (we had the same deal with stonehenge with cars whizzing past on both sides).
