Ancient rome
Ancient Rome in photos - Rome is a splendid city fo the one who knows it. Walking in the Italian capital looking for those small streets is a sheer delight, but to walk in the Roman city during Antiquity was to be quite simply majestic. I thus propose a small flashback for you at the sides of Jules Ceasar and those which really built Rome.
Roman forum
The Roman Forum is also called old Forum by Italians. It was regarded as the center town of Rome during Antiquity.
At the time, the Roman forum sheltered the principal buildings of the Roman administration. An open platform called Rostres then made it possible to the leaders to be addressed directly to the people and thus structured the political life of the time. The Forum was a high place of trade. It in addition accommodated a great number of shops and merchants come from all the empire which extended from Europe in the North of Africa.
Colosseum of Rome
During antiquity, Colosseum of Rome accommodated “the plebs” (the people of Rome) for spectacular and imposing plays. At the time, it could accommodate to 55.000 spectators for combat of gladiators or with wild animals coming from remote regions conquered by the Romans.
Pantheon of Rome
The Pantheon was a long time a place of central worship for the Romans. During Antiquity the monument of the Pantheon was devoted to the greco-Romans divinities. It is one of the best preserved monuments in Rome.
I hope that you appreciated this small visit in ancient Rome. Do not hesitate to comment on, for any question or if you visited these places before! If you are interested by Italy I in addition invite you to go to read the subjects which are dedicated to this magnificient city on our website.
