The tour will continue to the Roman Forum, once Ancient Rome's main center. This area was key to Rome's culture, economy, and administration. You will tour the Roman Forum strolling through its many ruins, some very well preserved. Your guide will tell you how the Forum was arranged and how it looked in the times of Ancient Romans.
Two arches particularly amaze for their majesty in the Forum, just a few steps from the Colosseum: the Arch of Constantine and the Arch of Titus. These two monuments' sculptural qualities show us the stylistic changes through the eras. A triumphal arch's key purpose was to celebrate victories, trophies, and conquests of the emperor they were built for. Both arches are lavishly decorated with bas-reliefs of outstanding artistic quality depicting scenes of war and triumph.
