Hi Mummy,
there were more interesting points to visit.

We went to the Colosseum today. Its  originally name was  Flavian Amphitheatre. It is an elliptical amphitheatre in the center of the city of Rome, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Its construction started between 70 and 72 AD and was finished in 80 AD. the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, capable of seating 50.000 spectators.







Our next destination was the Roman Forum.

The Roman Forum is located between the Palatine hill and the Capitoline hill of the city of Rome. It is the central area around which the ancient Roman civilization developed. The oldest and most important structures of the ancient city are located in the forum, such as the former royal residency, the Regia, and the surrounding complex of the Vestal virgins. There are temples, basilicas and arches.



I've had a fantastic time here with Marion.

Thanks to Marion
