Symbol of Rome

One of the symbols of Rome is the Colosseum,the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. It was built in the 70s and completed in 80. The great complex of the Imperial Forums consist of a series of monumental fora (public squares), constructed in Rome over a period of one and half centuries, between 46 BC and 113. The forums were the heart of the late Roman Republic and of the Roman Empire. The list of the very important monuments of ancient Rome includes the Roman Forum, the Domus Aurea, the Pantheon, the Trajan's Column, the Trajan's Market, the Catacombs of Rome, the Circus Maximus, the Baths of Caracalla, the Arch of Constantine, the Pyramid of Cestius, the Bocca della Verito, the archeological site of Ostia preserves intact a whole ancient Roman town.
罗马, 又被称为永恒之城, 横跨在台伯河上。 他的古罗马中心就是沿著台伯河岸发展的。台伯河中有船形岛, 是从台伯河自然冲积而成的岛屿。在河岸边可以找到七个山丘: 帕拉提诺, 文提诺, 卡比托利欧, 奎利那雷, 维米那勒, 埃斯奎利诺, 以及西里欧。
