Sightseeing tours of Rome with minibus and private driver to the Imperial forum

 

Rome, in the first century AD, counted a million inhabitants and the alone area of the Fora from the part of the Capitol Hill was not enough, both for the population, both for the continuous construction of times, basilicas and monuments.
Also the commercial discourse started to become too tightened, for the increasing expansion of the dominations in Rome and the relative commercial exchanges to entertain.

Nothing is more interested than sightseeing through the ancient monuments of Rome thinking with our imagination how they looked like with their arches, porches and marble decorations !!

 



It was for this reason that the emperor Trajan (been born in Italic, Spain in 53 before Christ), returning victorious from the war against the Daces (actual Romania) having conquered the east out of the confinements of Italy, decided after the celebration of his triumph to commemorate his victory building a complex that would have surpassed the other Fora both in splendour that in dimensions.
It submitted the project to the great architect Apollodoro of Damascus, that removed a great part of the base of the hill Quirinale making to become the Forum the place more admired of the city.

The Imperial fora are considered an extension and an embellishment of the old republican Roman forum and can conveniently be lectured and commented from a minibus with air conditioned and an expert local driver tour guide.

Who better than the licensed limousine drivers of Rome can transfer you the passion and the culture we have after having studied so deeply the history of Rome which covers a period of 3000 years.

 

A big monument to the victory on the Daces is without doubt the great Trajan column formed by nineteen blocks of Carrara marble restored after 19 centuries and brought to its original shine, that narrates as in a film with a spiral sculpture around the column the epic stories of the conquest of the Dacia, a kind of helicoidal ribbon that represents the armies and the uses and customs of Romans and Daces, included the bridge built by Trajan to come in Dacia and the fortresses he attacked.

 

 

A structure of three floors finally constituted the Markets Traianei, semi-circulars, with the plaza of the market enormous for the massive structure of exchanges effected. The portico that races around the ground floor and to the first floor, with numerous arcs, makes to resemble the markets to an enormous basilica.

Few people like me can tell you too that near the Imperial Forum there was the house of Michelangelo where the great florentine artist lived and died at the age of 89 years old.
