Roma, Archaeological site in Rome, Italy

The ancient city of Rome stands on seven hills along the Tiber River, with ruins and structures spread across 1500 hectares of land.

The settlement began in 753 BCE on Palatine Hill, gradually expanding into the capital of an empire that controlled territories from Britain to Egypt.

The Roman Forum served as the central marketplace and civic center, where citizens gathered for political meetings, commercial transactions, and religious ceremonies.

The archaeological area requires at least three days to explore properly, with entrance tickets available at the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, or Roman Forum.

The ancient Romans developed concrete using volcanic ash, enabling the construction of structures that have endured for over two millennia.
