Questions
Why is the Roman Forum so low?
It's a valley. Floods and soil from the hills buried it for centuries, until cows grazed metres above the Roman paving. Since 1803 it has been dug out. Read the story
Who is buried in the Roman Forum?
Nobody famous. Julius Caesar was burned there in 44 BC, not buried. The only graves found date from the 10th century BC, before the Forum existed. Read the story
