A low-angle shot of the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina in the Roman Forum, showing the contrast between the ancient Roman columns and the later church facade. The prominent, tall columns of the ancient temple stand in the foreground, with the brick facade of the Church of San Lorenzo in Miranda built on top of the original structure. The image captures the layers of history in the single building, set against a partly cloudy blue sky. A cross is visible at the top of the church, symbolizing the transformation of the ancient site.
