As I mentioned in yesterday’s iPhone Friday post, I really enjoyed the Forum Romanorum, which is on the Palatine Hill. This is located across the street from the Colosseum, which was featured in that post. I have a bunch of photos from that visit and I have to spend some time with them to have them presented at their best.
In the mean time, here’s a teaser that still needs work…
The Forum Romanorum, or ‘Public Place of the Romans’, is steeped in the history of the Roman Empire. Many significant events took place on these grounds, a lot of which were not that savory. Murders, secret plots, weighty decisions and grand speeches were among these events. Walking across these grounds, one can feel the weight of history.
It is a truly memorable experience to visit the Forum and I heartily recommend it over the Colosseum.
