Foro Romano
Introduction
The Roman Forum was the political, religious and social center of ancient Rome. This ruin of broken columns and temple remains was the heart of that great empire, now quietly telling of its glory and vicissitudes, a deep, stunning sight in Rome. The Roman Forum lies by the Colosseum, in the valley between the Palatine and Capitoline hills, the center of ancient Rome and the heart of the empire's political, religious, commercial and social life. For a thousand glorious years, this was the city's and empire's most important hub: the Senate debated, consuls issued edicts, triumphal processions passed, citizens gathered, traded and held rites, encompassing every aspect of public life and witnessing the rise and fall of the civilization. Today it is a spectacular ruin: broken, weathered but still standing columns, temple remnants, arches, foundations, scattered across the valley, still radiating grandeur, solemnity and depth. Walking among the ruins, imagining the bustle and grand ceremonies, one feels the glory and vicissitudes of history. Visiting Rome and strolling the deep, weathered Roman Forum, imagining the empire's glory, is a stunning sight.
