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.

Arco di Costantino

Built in 315AD and noted by its triple arches, this structure commemorates Constantine's victory over Maxentuis.

Reviewed By Moonamuslim

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.

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”.

Temple of Venus and Roma

Reviewed By mo_aiguille - Caddington, United Kingdom

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.

Statua di Polluce

Reviewed By globetrottingYankee

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!
