Places to Visit
The Via dei Fori Imperiali (formerly Via dei Monti, then Via
dell’Impero) is a road in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy,
that runs in a straight line from the Piazza Venezia to
the Colosseum. Its course takes it over parts of the Forum of
Trajan, Forum of Augustus and Forum of Nerva, parts of
which can be seen on both sides of the road. Since the 1990s,
there has been a great deal of archeological excavation on both
sides of the road, as significant Imperial Roman relics remain
to be found underneath it.
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum
Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a
rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several
important ancient government buildings at the center of the
city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space,
originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the
Forum.
10
The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian
Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city
of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine, tuff, and brick-
faced concrete, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The
Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum.
Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72,
and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and
heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign
of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the
amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is
a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between
the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by
the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I‘s victory
over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312.
Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch.
The arch spans the Via triumphalis, the way taken by the
emperors when they entered the city in triumph.
San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains) is a Roman
Catholic titular church and minor basilica in Rome, Italy,
best known for being the home of Michelangelo‘s statue of
Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II.
The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church,
in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple
commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign
of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). The present building was
completed by the emperor Hadrianand probably dedicated
about 126 AD. He retained Agrippa’s original inscription,
which has confused its date of construction as the original
Pantheon burnt down so it is not certain when the present
one was built.
11
Piazza Navona is a square in Rome, Italy. It is built on the
site of the Stadium of Domitian, built in the 1st century AD,
and follows the form of the open space of the stadium.
The ancient Romans went there to watch the agones, and
hence it was known as “Circus Agonalis”. It is believed that
over time the name changed to in avone to navone and
eventually to navona.
