The Roman Forum. "the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs" To think that it has a history of over two and a half millenia is mind boggling. But in such a long time, how much have we progressed? How do we even measure what progress is, compared to the high times of the Forum? #italy #romanforum #fororomano #archeology #rome #ancient #historicalarchitecture #historiccity #forum #traveldestination #civilization
