This is a new edit of a scene I posted months ago… sort of a fantasy composite view of elements within- and adjacent to- the Roman Forum. I felt that it needed less flash than the original posted view, making it easier to view individual elements. The current world-wide pandemic (with its associated stay-at-home mandated precautions) has provided lots of free time to tackle the edit.
Best viewed large for detail.

The Roman Forum, ( Forum Romanum), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history. Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million sightseers yearly.

El Foro Boario era una zona de la antigua Roma situada en la ribera izquierda del rÃo TÃber, entre el Campidoglio y el Aventino. También se conocÃa como tal una plaza inserta en la misma zona, en la cual se producÃa el mercado de animales.

The Roman Empire, and the remains of Julian Basilica.
A true open-air museum, Rome has preserved and enriched its beauty over the centuries. Each corner of the streets reveals a treasure, be it ancient, religious, architectural or even gastronomic. All roads lead to Rome, and one should not resist, simply take it and go, enjoy the beauty and admire the eternal city.

The ruins of the Roman Forum captured at night. The scene is visually very dark. I took a full bracket so it could be processed using HDR.
When the Pope was selected, I remembered that I still have some "half-edited" photos from our Italy trip :). So many cool and historical scenes in Rome.
The church was initially dedicated to Saint Martina, martyred in 228 AD during the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus. In 625 Pope Honorius I commissioned construction of the church. Restored first in 1256 during the reign of Pope Alexander IV, it was a simple rectangular structure surrounded on three sides by other constructions until it was rebuilt by the painter and architect, Pietro da Cortona, in the seventeenth century.
The church is situated between the Roman Forum and the Forum of Caesar and close to the Arch of Septimus Severus.

Standing on Capitoline Hill overlooking Roman Forum, courts, offices and temples from ancient Rome, 1400 to 2500 years old, where for example Julius Cesar´s remains were cremated. Excavations began in this place in the 19th century.
If I was a painter, I would have probably created something similar!
The scene takes you back from centuries ago where important government buildings used to stand and you could almost imagine what it was like back then. An important function of the Forum, during both Republican and Imperial times, was to serve as the culminating venue for the celebratory military processions known as Triumphs.
The Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) was the central area of the city around which ancient Rome developed. Here was where commerce, business, prostitution, cult and the administration of justice took place. Space where religious activities were conducted and the communal hearth of the city.
This is a view from the Capitoline hill at blue hour. I have deliberately given this an artist's impression to create a moody look!
Every body knows the picture of the Colosseum, every body recognizes at once that "looped and windowed" band-box with a side bitten out. Any history book that I picked up as a kid had the picture of Colosseum. Any postcard I saw of Rome, it had this picture.....I associated Colosseum to Rome as a kid. Being rather isolated, it shows to better advantage than any other of the monuments of ancient Rome.
The monarch of all European ruins, the Colosseum, maintains that reserve and that royal seclusion which is proper to majesty.
More vividly than all the written histories, the Colosseum tells the story of Rome's grandeur and Rome's decay and that Rome shall stand!
Temple of Romolus is a little octagonal construction which should be recognized as the Temple of the Suffered, rather than the temple which emperor Maxentius dedicated to the memory of his son Romulus died in 309 and buried on Via Appia.

The Roman Forum is a rectangular plaza located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills. In ancient times it was the centre of day-to-day life in the city. The Senate House, government offices, temples, public buildings and monuments were located on or near it. Today most of these structures lie in ruin but, with the help of intermittent archaeological excavations, the site is maintained as an historical memorial attracting some four-and-a-half million sightseers every year.
At the northwest end of the Forum the Arch of Septimius Severus still stands intact. Dedicated in AD 203 it commemorated the victory of Emperor Septimius Severus and his sons in two campaigns against the Parthians. The three columns in the foreground are the ruined remains of the temple of Castor and Pollux which was built by the infant Roman Republic in 483 BC in gratitude for a major military victory in the previous decade*.

The large white marble monument in the background was built between 1885 and 1935 to honour Victor Emmanuel II who in 1861 became the first king of a united Italy since the fall of the Roman Empire in the middle of the 5th century.
