The Roman Forum, is a rectangular area surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. It was originally a marketplace. Much has been unearthed since our first visit here in 1996. Excavation continues.
The Palatine Hill, the centremost of the Seven Hills of Rome, is one of the most ancient parts of the city. It stands 40 metres above the Roman Forum, looking down upon it on one side, and upon the Circus Maximus on the other. From the time of Augustus, Imperial palaces were built here
