Admire the heart of Ancient Rome! The Forum was indeed one of the most important places in the ancient world, since it was here where public and social life were lived. Conceived originally for commercial purposes, over the centuries the Forum turned into a real warzone for political power, marked by intense battles fought by artworks and public buildings, as usual during the Republican Age.
