Roman Forum Photo Album

The following link will take you to a photo album of the Roman Forum.

The Roman Forum

I've been to the Forum twice -- 25 years apart. It was interesting to note the changes over that time, mainly that of new excavations. Several structures that were covered or under repair in 1985 are now seen in all their glory.

In 1985 you could wander through the ruins at will: now the House of the Vestals and the Basilica Julia are blocked off.

It's funny to contemplate changes during my little span of time when the structures have stood there 80 times as long.
