One of the symbols of Rome is the Colosseum, the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. Originally capable of seating 50,000 spectators, it was used for gladiatorial combat. It was built in the 70s and completed in 80. The great complex of the Imperial Forums consist of a series of monumental fora (public squares), constructed in Rome over a period of one and half centuries, between 46 BC and 113. The forums were the heart of the late Roman Republic and of the Roman Empire. The list of the very important monuments of ancient Rome includes the Roman Forum, the Domus Aurea, the Pantheon, the Trajan's Column, the Trajan's Market, the Catacombs of Rome, the Circus Maximus, the Baths of Caracalla, the Arch of Constantine, the Pyramid of Cestius, the Bocca della Verità . Moreover, the archeological site of Ostia preserves intact a whole ancient Roman town.

Yes, I agree with you. Rome is one of the best city in the world. There are no doubts about that. Monuments that you cannot find in other part of the world, historical and archelogical areas... but, probably because is the a city where often I have to work, Rome is not my best city. I like Rome but I don't love it. Too much traffic, too much people, too mucg noise, too much of everything.
