So this post is a little late but it works anyway. On Tuesday of this week I had the chance to go to the Colosseum, the Imperial Forum, and the Roman Forum. Since it was with my Art and Architecture of Rome class, I was able to get into the Imperial Forum for free. The Roman Forum is always free, and the Colosseum I will have to go back to again, since we ran out of time and only saw the outside. All three are absolutely amazing. My professor was explaining to us that much of the Roman and Imperial Forums still are yet to be unearthed, but what is so far is amazing. For those who don't know, the Forums are thousands of years old, and in some cases, still so structurally sound that it is actually possible to go inside them. Seeing the detail in the architecture is spectacular, and it really is hard to imagine that not only did they achieve detail this precise, but that they were able to construct these buildings so that some of them are still standing. It seems like it's going to be a good class, especially since I get to explore the city every week. Pictures are below as usual...This post is kind of short because I'm about to write about Paris as well. Enjoy!
