Sejarah Roman Forum

The Roman Forum was the central area around which ancient Rome developed, in which commerce and the administration of justice took place. The communal hearth was also located here. It was built on the site of a past cemetery.

Sequences of remains of paving show that sediment eroded from the surrounding hills was already raising the level of the forum in early Republican times. Originally it had been marshy with the Cloaca Maxima. Its final travertine. ground, which was drained by the Tarquins paving, still visible, dates from the reign of Augustus.
-From Wikipedia-

bangunan2 yg de kat Roman Forum kebanyakannya dah runtuh tapi still banyak tinggalan yg ade...kawasan Roman Forum sgt besar n rasenye dulu masa zaman empayar Rome,mesti tempat ni sgt cantik dgn tiang2 yg besar n ukiran yg sememangnya unik.....


lepas dah bis bergamba kat Roman Forum,kitorg terus ke Monument of Victor Emmanuel II yg terletak tak jauh dari Roman Forum n Colosseum coz ketiga2 tempat ni terletak near to each other...

Sejarah pembinaan Monument of Victor Emmanuel II

Monumen ni dibina sebagai tanda penghormatan kepada Victor Emmanuel,the 1st king of a unified Italy...monumen ni direka oleh Giuseppe Sacconi pada tahun 1895...pembinaan dimulakan secara rasmi pada tahun 1911 n siap pada tahun 1925..

The monument is built of pure white marble and features majestic stairways, tall Corinthian Columns, fountains, a huge equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas.

Monument of Victor Emmanuel II ni sememangnya sangat cantik n nmpak cam gagah je...

Fontana di Trevi,Vatican City,Colosseum,Roman Forum n Monument of Victor Emmanuel II adalah antara tempat2 yg sempat kitorg lawati sepanjang berada di Rome...mmg still byk lagi tempat2 yg menarik tp memandangkan kitorg kesuntukan masa,memadailah dgn melawat tempat2 yg famous ni....hihi...but i hope i'll be in Rome again....
