Summary edit
| Description |
this is one of those places you see on post cards....the most amazing thing about it to me is looking at the tiny size of the people in the picture..and then wondering how the heck these things were buried for several thousand years..note the brickwork on top of the columns..that these were the foundation for something else...view large The Forum Romanum suffered damage and destruction repeatedly. When political strife in republican times deteriorated into violence, the Forum would regularly be the scene of fierce fights between rivalling factions, often followed by destructive fires. Fire was always a problem in ancient Rome, and parts of the Forum burnt down several times, the worst fire being in 283 CE. Later the Forum suffered destruction and pillage at the hands of invaders. Most of the buildings on the Forum was destroyed completely in 410 CE, when the Ostrogoths of Alaric sacked the town. Many religious sites were abandoned and fell in ruin after the ban of non-Christian cults in 394 CE. |
