Walk to the Forum

As you look out at Piazza Cinquacento, in front of Termini train station, go left down Via Covour. Walk four blocks and you will see Santa Maria Maggiore on your left. As you continue on Via Covour you could take a detour down Via Eudosiana and see Michelangelo's Moses in San Pietro in Vincoli. Continue to follow Via Couvour until you intersect Via Dei Fiori Imperiale. The Colosseum will be directly down to your left and the Forum is across the street directly in front of you.

The Forum is the place where ancient Roman culture, government, and trade came together. Some notable objects in the Forum are the Arch of Septimius Severus and the Rostrum. The Rostrum is where all major speeches in the Roman Government were given. This makes it the place where Marc Antony gave his famous speech after the assassination of Julius Caesar. The Arch of Septimius Severus is hard to miss and is celebrates his accession.
