Well aged

This week Carmi has suggested "Well aged" as a photographic theme. 
I have recently had a wonderful three-week holiday in Italy, so here are some pics around this idea.

Please click on the photos to see more detail.

Firstly, a well-aged foot from the Vatican Museum in Rome:


I can't resist a shot of the Colosseum:


This mosaic is one of those recovered from Pompei. It is in the
Napoli (Naples)Museum.


Well-aged Parma hams from a family farm. Delicious!



I feel a little disrespectful posting these ones; I hope
no-one takes offence!  
They are mummies - one wrapped, one not - from the 
Egyptian Museum in Torino (Turin).
