Rome - Part Five - Colosseum & Roman Forum

Rome 2008 Part 1 075

In many ways the Colosseum IS Rome, and it is certainly an imposing and amazing building. We did not go in, but I had a good wander around the edge of it and the surrounding area. Actually for me the Forum is more interesting than the Colosseum, a wide area of fragments of building and archaeological sites where interesting things are stumbled upon all the time.

First here is the Colosseum, without tacky pictures of people in gladiator uniforms,
