Touring Ancient Rome
... the Forum of Caesar. Caesar was cremated here and part of the altar erected on this site to honour him, still remains. The Colosseum was an imposing and amazing place, as you would expect it to be. Other ancient places we visited on our tour were: the Forum of Augustus; the Palatine (the site of the founding of Rome and the 'square furrow' ploughed by Romulus in the year 754BC); the Domus (a palace that was commissioned by Nero); the Pantheon (a temple erected in honour ...
