Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Built in 315AD and noted by its triple arches, this structure commemorates Constantine's victory over Maxentuis.
The three-door Arch of Constantine (Arco di Constantino) is the largest of the three triumphal arches in the Roman Forum. It was built in honor of Emperor Constantine (Flavius Valerius Constantinus) in 312-315 and commemorates the victory over Emperor Maxentius, whom Constantine won in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, and his 10-year reign. A large and magnificent structure 21 meters high and 25.7 meters wide. Unfortunately, the size next to the Colosseum is not important - but impressive. Some of the reliefs and columns were taken from earlier structures and inserted in the Arch of Constantine. Certainly one of the most fascinating buildings in the Roman Forum. Like so many buildings in Rome, architecture is impressive, above all due to its details, size and old age.

Among the best preserved monuments of the Roman Forum.
This arch spanning the Via Sacra commemorates the acquisition of new territory and for the victory over the Parti. The arch covered in marble and decorated with many relief panels that depict the important moments of the campaign. On the Foro Romano side, above the arch is a small statue of Mars flanked by two statues of winged victory.

This pillar is impressive by its helical stripes and fine details and prints. Another interesting matter is that another typical one is located in another place “Column of Marcus Aurelius” beside “Galleria Alberto Sordi mall”.

A famous Etruscan statue of a bronze she-wolf nursing Rome's legendary founders, Romulus and Remus.
A she-wolf sucking the mythical twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus. Beside the Senatorio Palace you can see a copy, the original is inside the Capitoline Museum. This is the symbol of Rome

Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting the colosseum. You have a great view of the Colosseum in the background and definitely worth the pics. Some old ruins there that are definitely worth seeing and admiring. Paid €14 online for entry into the colosseum , foro Romano and something else. Wouldn’t advise on paying for tours as they are expensive and not even skip the line unless you decide on hearing more about the history.

Dioscuri (or Gemini in Greek mythology) are supposed twins born to Leda, Castor and Pollux, fathered by her king husband and Zeus, respectively (ha ha forget Biology eh?). The statues are imposing figures atop the Coronata as one lands on Piazza Del Campidoglio. Pollux is on right, his brother on the left? See any difference? Magnificent pieces of art!
