>> Temple (3 standalone columns), Romulus Temple (look for building
>> with green bronze doors ... Note those are the original doors from
>> when it was built !!) Constantine Basilica (look for three huge
>> arches) this makes this building by far the largest in the forum.
>> This building housed a statue of Constantine so big that its head
>> was 6 feet high) .... Ego-much?
>> Then toward the end of the clip look for Titans Arch which kindof
>> looks like the Arch de Triomphe. Finally, you also see Colosseum in
>> the background.
>> We could have stayed in this spot much longer but time was a wastin
>> and we were hungry. We ended up at a restaurant just across the
>> street of the Colosseum. Great view !!
