[Leica] Cicero was here

[Peter Klein]

Friends, OM-ers, Leicaphiles, lend me your eyes...

Let's explore the 2500 year-old Greek theater at Segesta, Sicily. One of 
its claims to fame is that during Roman times, Cicero made an oration 
from this very stage. If I have the story straight, it happened during 
his fact-finding expedition to Sicily, whose corrupt governor he later 
prosecuted in Rome.

First, here's the ancient Greek temple you saw close-up in previous 
photos, now seen from a distance, from the top of the hill where the 
theater is located:

highway leading towards the sea:

Katya shows us that some of the theater seats still have their seat 
backs intact, a rarity:
