Description


The Roman Forum is located in a valley that is between the Palatine hill and the Capitoline hill. It originally was a marsh, but the Romans drained the area and turned it into a center of political and social ACTIVITY. The Forum was the marketplace of Rome and also the business district and civic center. It was expanded to include temples, a senate house and law courts. When the Roman Empire fell, the Forum became forgotten, buried and was used as a cattle pasture during the Middle Ages.

First of all I love the story that goes with the picture. How the mighty have fallen. You give us a lot to see here, and that is good, as it is all so very interesting. Love the stone and colors of them especially against that pretty sky. Beautiful look Shelly. #11303727
