This is a picture of ancient Roman columns at Beit She`an National Park, Israel.nnBeit She’an’s extraordinary Roman ruins are the best place in Israel to get a sense of what it was like to live, work and shop in the Roman Empire. Colonnaded streets, a 7000-seat theatre that looks much as it did 1800 years ago the original public bathrooms are nearby, two bathhouses and huge stone columns that lie right where they fell during the 749 earthquake evoke the grandeur, self-confidence and decadence of ancient Roman provincial life.nnThe path to the theatre and the Cardo, the hugely impressive colonnaded main street.nnTaken on December 4, 2007
