Highlights and Description
For someone unfamiliar with Rome, trying to work out the difference between the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Palatine Hill can be confusing. Below is a brief overview of each one to help you understand the difference between these three iconic sights of Rome.
Visiting the Colosseum
This world-famous icon is an ancient amphitheater dating from AD 70 and is the iconic, unmissable sight of Rome. A symbol of the splendour of the empire, the Amphitheatre has changed its appearance and its function over the centuries, presenting itself as a structured space but open to the Roman community.
The Roman Forum
The Foro Romano (Roman Forum) is located just to the west of the Colosseum and is the truly ancient city of Rome – the very place where history took place, with processions, criminal trials, elections, and intrigue all happening here. It was the site of the original Senate, and where Caesar’s body was brought following his assassination. The ruins of some of Rome’s most important ancient structures can be found at or near the Forum.
The Palatine Hill
The flat-topped Palatine Hill that rises above the Forum is where the emperors built their palaces (and indeed “Palatine” is the source of the word “palace”. Contrary to the beliefs of some visitors to Rome, it is not the “Palantine Hill”, and it’s definitely not the “Palpatine Hill”!). The Palatine hill preserves the remains of Iron Age settlements connected with the earliest core of the city of Rome. The hill was home to important civic cults, including the Magna Mater (Cybele) and, between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, it became the residential district of the Roman aristocracy, with elegant houses characterised by exceptional painted and paved decorations, such as those preserved in the House of the Griffins.
