Susanne and I came to Greece so I could attend the 3rd World Summit on Media for Children and Adolescents. We arrived a couple days early so we could play tourist and explore the city; Susanne then returned to the US while I attended the conference.

	The third-century Rotunda was built as a mausoleum for the emperor Galerius, but Constantine the Great converted it into a church, making it the oldest church in the city.		The Arch of Galerius, erected in 303 to celebrate the emperor's defeat of the Persians.
	The arch is within spitting distance of Galerius' Rotunda.		Closeup of the arch.
