"Recovering" Rome
Circus Maximus
The public building designed for horse-racing
Basilica
of Maxentius
Emperor Maxentius never saw his Basilica finished...but this
is most likely what it looked like.
House of the Vestal
Virgins
Like a modern-day monastery, the House of the Vestal Virgins
was a self-contained world of strict morality.
Forum of Caesar
A veritable museum of Greek pictures and sculptures, the
Forum naturally also had a statue of Caesar himself.
Colosseum Exterior
The "Colossus" would hold up to 50,000 cheering
citizens. Let the games begin!
Colosseum
Interior
With the flooring gone, we today can see the underground
network of passageways hidden from the Roman spectators.
