"Roman Forum" ©2001 Elroy Christenson The Roman Forum, beginning in the
6c bce remains a fascinating place
long after the Roman Empire disappeared. It has been used as a quarry
and a place to graze animals up to the 19c when tourism became an
important industry. The Arch of Titus is in the center with the
Colosseum, Flavian Amphitheatre (75 ce) to the right. The Arch
of Titus was constructed to commemorate the capture of Jerusalem (70
ce).
