Hike up a Hill by the Studio

Tiberius, Emperor of Rome, had signaling places from Rome to various hills around Italy and the Island of Sardinia. One such signaling place is on a hill just above the studio. So off we went on a fine spring day to see what the Roman soldiers could see. It was a very nice walk, with only a wee bit of getting, well, not lost, but differently directed.

We couldn't climb the hill from our studio because we would have to fight our way through this (at about a 45 degree slope). We came through a bit of this coming down while we looked for asparagus!

We drove around earlier trying to find the best access to the hill. This appeared to be the best bet, so started from here.

Almost to the top. . . but not really. It is much farther than it looks.

 At the top!

Arpino is behind me and to the right.

There's not much of the site left standing.

 Northeast.

Southwest towards the coast.

Down towards the studio (roughly about where the bigger orange-topped building is in the middle).

Pax my friends!
