Imperishable vestiges of ancient Rome

Arch of Titus

If there was a imperio great in the world ... that was the Romano.

Many of his constructions o key places continue to be visited today by millions of tourists each year who want to take a piece of history in the form of those sensations that invariably invade them when they see such ancient and historical buildings.

Today we will talk about three of them that are the most documents.

The first would be the Arch of Titus that it is an honorary construction that was built after 81 AD and that is a clear example of architecture from the Flavian period.

Its proportions, its materials and its expressive force are some of its main characteristics.

It is now time to talk about Coliseum, of which we have already told you on some other occasion but of which we want to rescue some interesting data that until now we had not told you.

It was built between the years 72 and 80 AD and despite the fact that the building partially collapsed after a earthquake In 1348, what is left of it is still a reason to visit for the vast majority of tourists who come to Rome.

Its amphitheater with great access systems was destined to a capacity of more than 50.000 spectators.

We finish this tour of the vestiges of ancient Rome in the Arch of Constantine, which unlike Titus has three spans but is quite later since it dates from 312 AD

Arch of Constantine

Constantine I and his co-emperor Licinius had it built to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Milvio Bridge and today it is perhaps the best preserved ancient monument in Rome.
