The Forum

The Forum is a long, rectangular plaza filled with the ruins of great buildings from Rome's past.  It is the forum/plaza from which all others are modeled, and grew slowly over time.  In fact, excavations have revealed more and more detail the deeper they dig.

There's much too much history for me to understand / explain, so please check out the wiki page here.

The columns in the foreground are the remains of the Temple of Castor and Pollux.

The columns on the right are the remains of the Temple of Saturn.
