After the Colosseum, we headed towards the Roman Forum.
Walking from the Colosseum, by the Arch of Constantine, and then up into the Roman Forum, at the foot of Palatine Hill....you can just imagine the triumphal parades from generals and their armies returning from war.
And then, almost suddenly, you are in the Roman Forum—the center of commerce, government, and life in the Roman Empire. The very heart of Rome.
Walking amongst the ruins, my tour guide explained many of the important buildings nearby (we didn't have time for them all). The pictures he painted of ancient Roman life were enthralling—suddenly, we could see Julius Caesar, Domitian, Nero, Titus, and so many others in my minds eye.
