| | Roman Forum Summary |
 | | The Roman Forum (Forum Romanum, although the Romans called it more often the Forum Magnum or just the Forum) was the central area around which ancient Rome developed, in which commerce, business, prostitution, cult and the administration of justice took place. |
 | | Over the years important monuments were gradually added to the Forum and became the center of the city's social life, and also reflected the prestige of the city as the capital of a vast empire. |
 | | The Roman Forum consisted of many things such as the Curia, the meeting place for the Roman Senate, the Comitium Well, or assembly place, the Basilica the meeting place for law courts, social gatherings, and business, and the Rostra, the speaker's platform that was built to serve the young government. |
