Via Sacra

Via Sacra Review

The celebrated basalt-paved road that loops through the Roman Forum, lined with temples and shrines, was also the traditional route of religious and triumphal processions. It's now little more than a dirt track, but there are occasional patches of the paving stones—stones once trod by Caesars and plebs—rutted with the ironclad wheels of Roman wagons. If you ever wanted to walk where Mark Antony did, this is your chance.
