Arch of Titus

The Forum of Rome is a strange landscape of dead buildings, like the massive skeletons of extinct dinosaurs. Both an outdoor museum and graveyard. In the deathly still that isolates the Forum from the rest of the city a visitor might often attempt to reconstruct the appearance and grandeur of this once-bustling heart of democracy, empire and turmoil.

Even unaware of its epic history the Forum of Rome has a silent majesty that permeates the consciousness. From this central command a mighty empire was governed. The noble concept of democratic government was fostered amidst soaring pillars of marble. Through these ruined avenues strolled kings and emperors, luminaries and literati, and finally — you and I.
