Today we headed over to the ancient Roman Forum and got to see the Coliseum as well as tour through parts of the uncovered old roman city. We walked down the path and immediately into the Forum.

As we kept on our path, we found the area where people would line up and ask senators for privilege to do something. As people got permission from someone of the government, they were then either allowed or denied the access to what said person had requested. If a person was allowed to do said action, they would proceed to the aisles on either side of the waiting line to find a stall that traded what the person was allowed to buy. Overall, we saw how people would trade in ancient Rome and what steps had to be taken in order to trade efficiently and correctly.

On our journey through the historical ancient city, we saw an overwhelming abundance of cultural idles and statues and tributes to the rulers and the gods. My favorite religious peace to hear about was the Coliseum! This place was not only for fighting and battle, but also for theatrics to reenact heroic stories and pay tribute to their gods. Pictures simply could not capture the Coliseum in all of its magnificence and glory. Truly a breathtaking sight!
