We left the Colosseum to walk up Palatine Hill (the site of the founding of Rome and location of many Emporer/elite palace), through the Arch of Titus
to the Temple to Rome
originally part of private homes garden, with a natural water feature, this area was cooler and shaded
a winding tunnel (originally providing a private walkway for the imperial family) brings us down from the residential Hill to the shop/business area of the Forum with original mosaic flooring and wall murals
original public water fountain of the city (Rome is still very proud of their fresh water fountains throughout the city)
death place and burial site of Julius Caesar
remains of the Temple of Castor and Pollux
Corban in front of the Rostra at the end of the Via Sacra
Gelato and then dinner at the house after a full day!
