Description

he floors of the two or three huts cut out of the rock of the Palatine and the simple earth graves of a burial ground, the Sepulcretum, on the edge of the Forum are the earliest traces that we can find today of what was later to become the Eternal City, her most ancient "monuments" as it were. They are the first visible signs of an urban growth that continued for more than a thousand years in antiquity and left us remains of monuments that, be it in size or number, have no equal anywhere in the world.
