The eastern part of the Forum Archaeological Area (technically not part of the Forum proper). From right to left: the Arch of Titus, the Colosseum, and the Basilica of Maxentius.

The central part of the Forum Archaeological Area. Right to left in background: the Basilica of Maxentius, the so-called Temple of Romulus, and the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. The House of the Vestals is in the foreground.

The western part of the Forum Archaeological Area - the Forum proper, and the site of our walking tour. The three columns in the foreground belong to the Temple of Castor and Pollux. The most conspicuous structures in the background are the Curia and Arch of Septimius Severus, both in the right background.
