One of the most visited sites in Italy, the Roman Forum is also one of the best-known wonders of the Roman world. Watkin examines the roles of the ancient remains while revealing what the standing structures embody--including the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque churches, as well as the nearby monuments that have important histories of their own.
