The <\/span>Roman Forum (VISITCOL\/ROMAN FORUM<\/span> is <\/span>home to ancient Rome\u2019s most important sites<\/b> that can still be seen today.\u00a0 Walking through the monuments we are reminded that the city of Rome has seen over 3,000 years of history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Long before the Roman Forum became the <\/span>heart of the ancient city<\/b>, it was a marshy valley lying between several hills. \u00a0 The first construction in the time of the kings (around 600 BC) was a deep drain the <\/span>Cloaca Maxima<\/b>, with this they drained the swampy area diverting numerous streams which frequently flooded the area.\u00a0 This allowed the use of the valley and a large rectangular space was created and slowly converted into a public marketplace and meeting space. Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day they say, by the 500s BC the first buildings made of local stone and terracotta tiles were built.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

These first buildings were temples which were used not only for observance of the Gods, but civic functions too.\u00a0 As Rome entered the <\/span>Republic (ARome\/Republic)<\/span> – a quasi-democracy with elected leaders and a system of senators, magistrates and officials who oversaw the management of the state. The rectangular central square expanded with buildings surrounding it on all sides and it soon became the central hub of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
