Everyone in their lifetime has to go to Rome 🙂
It’s a living breathing history lesson…It is absolutely fascinating.
In the centre of Rome is an area called The Imperial forum or The Ancient ruins.
The Temple of Saturn was originally built in 497BC and later rebuilt between 360 and 380 AD. It is one of the oldest sacred places in Rome.
It served as Rome’s treasury (which may have been housed below the columns) and Julius Caesar once stood here, triumphant after he had emptied the treasury of all its gold and silver.
I stood there in awe…a building so rich in history with so many stories to tell….
Have you been to the Eternal City?
