The Colosseum and Roman Forum

Tis a horse

When I was in Rome for a weekend with my Archaeology class we walked over to the Colosseum and Roman Forum, but arrived too late to go inside.

This time we did and it was pretty cool. It's more impressive that so much of it is still standing and that you can make out the figures of old buildings and such. Some people were touching the ruins on display with old graffiti on it, and that annoyed me. Do you want to destroy history? Because that's how you destroy history! With your oily fingers destroying things. There were also some cool animal bones and skulls, which was pretty wicked from my point of view.

The Roman Forum was also cool, we got to see part of the Golden House of Nero, which is huge. So this guy was obsessed with money and power and built this giant house.
