The Roman Forum is where ancient Roman civilization developed. It is unknown how old it is because not everything has been excavated. It did house the royal residence, the complex of the Vestal Virgins, and governments. It was the economic hub of the republic and empire. There is a temple to Julius Caesar, whom the senate deified posthumously.

The Colosseum is one of the most ancient ruins in Rome. It was built in 70-80 AD. It has quite a sordid history. Mock naval skirmishes were conducted here as well as oratory performances, animals shows, gladiator battles and Christians being fed to the lions. Today the Pope leads a torchlit procession call the "Way of the Cross" to the amphitheatre.

This is the last leg of our European Vacation. We all loved Rome. Here you will see typical streets as well as Piazza Novana and the Fountain of the Four Rivers and Fontana de Nettuno (Neptune). Gian Lorenzo Bernini was the architect and sculpture of the Four Rivers Fountain. The fountain also has an Egyptian obelisk in the center. Il Vittoriano, the wedding cake building, is also shown. Military honors are given out here.
