Once the centre of Rome and the Roman Empire, the Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) is now a vast collection of ruins testimony to the history of this Eternal City.
On this early morning of a wintery day, it was still almost empty when I entered the Forum, and the light on the remains of the Forum Romanum was beautiful. Following the Via Sacra, I tried hard to imagine how the Forum would have looked more than 2000 years ago, but it was not easy. There is such an abundance of remainders of ruins, there are so many monuments and monumental buildings, it is an overkill of history assaulting you from all sides. I ended up spending several hours walking slowly, stopping at many points, walking all the way up to the Arch of Titus, and back over the entire Forum Romanum. The sun had disappeared behind clouds, and waves of tourists were coming in on the ruins of the Eternal City.
