Rome: The City Of Art (and killing things for pleasure, but that's not important).

Ancient Rome was very different than what we see today. Buildings were fuller and extravagantly colored with mosaics and sculptures. Two prominent hills stood out among the plethora of houses and streets. The Capitoline Hill was the hill that supported the main temple of Jupiter, and was considered to be the city's center of religion. And the Palatine Hill which was a hill covered in places and even was the location of the emperor's palace. Outside of the hill, the Circus Maximus was built. this was where major parades and chariot races were held.
  During the reign of Nero, the Colosseum was used as a lake for Nero's palace. Afterwords, the Colosseum was filled and was once again used as a public entertainment building. This is where the famous gladiator fights were held. The Forum was a large open aired market in the center of the city. Away from the Forum there is a large flat area called the Fields of Mars. the is were the Pantheon is located. The Pantheon was a huge building that included the first dome used in a building.
