Arches of Brick

Description

I don't know about you, but I really dig Ancient Roman arches. Are they SOLID or what?! These, at Trier's Imperial Baths, are about 1800 years old I think.

Just a snapshot, bad quality, from years back. I'd like to visit again sometime!

I get the impression the redder bricks are a restoration project at some point, the pointing is cleaner and the more natural bricks are the ones in the lower of the arches. In fact the wall to the right looks as though the space under the arch has been built up for some reason. Still awesome history and if I may say some more interesting brickwork can be seen in the distance through the arch.
