Some believed that they were miraculous giants who once lived among the rest of us. The Romans built so much then after the collapse of the Roman Empire so much of the knowledge was forgotten and legends were created until the renaissance when the artists and architects rediscovered much of the knowledge of the Roman designs. Seeing the Pantheon and the coliseum and all the infrastructure of this city--so interesting.
We toured Vatican City, so amazing to be in such a place but you are there with 20,000 other people so you don´t get to see as much as you would like you just are herded along. Rome was filled to the brim with tourists. It was very difficult to find a room.
Walking in the forum and seeing all the layers of excavation that has been going on for over 100 years and seeing the old city emerge from below was so intriguing. We really would have liked to learn more about all of the history in the forum.--The next trip!
