At the heart of Ancient Rome you can explore the Forum, or the Forum Magnum as ancient Romans called it. With Palatine Hill in the background and the Colosseum and Arch of Titus in the distance, this was designed to be the center of political, economic and social life in the city. These ancient ruins boast statues of the late Caesar and Zeus as well as other monuments, that are still clearly visible. Visit the "belly-button of Rome", Umbilicus Urbis Mundus, and gain a better understanding of the Roman Republic, whose world was so closely intertwined with the Gods. You can explore the Basilica Aemelia, the Temple of Saturn, and the Rostra, where past emperors delivered their speeches.
