Rome Termini of today and the ancient Roman station, a temporary wooden shed, have one thing in common:
they are located at the end ("termine" in Italian) of a railway network. The name Termini has however nothing
to do with this peculiarity; it originated instead from the fact that the station is close to the Diocletian Baths, which in Latin are called thermae.
Today's Roma Termini is a hub of services and resources directly interacting with its surroundings.

Appian Way / Via Appia Antica
The Appian Way is the most important Roman road. It was called regina viarum, "the queen of the roads." Its
construction was started in 312 BC by the consul Appius Claudius Caecus on an existing track that connected Rome with the Alban Hills.
The Via Appia was also the site of the first milestones.
Basilica of Saint Peter - second largest church in Christianity,
The Basilica of Saint Peter, officially known in Italian as the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano and colloquially
called Saint Peter's Basilica, ranks second among the five major basilicas of Rome and its Vatican City enclave. See St. Peter's Basilica
Campidoglio
From earliest times on, the Capitolione hill [ or Campidoglio ] was the centre of the political, social, and religious
life of Rome. In addition to the old asylum, this was the site of the grat Italic temple dedicated to the Capitoline
Jupiter. Piazza del Campidoglio's current appearance dates back to the middle of the XV century when it was designed by Michelangelo Buonarroti.
The piazza's component parts (buildings, sculptures and decorated paving) were intended by Michelangelo to
form one single organic unity, although over the centuries there have been a number of alterations and additions. See Roma 2000
Capitoline Museum - Roma Musei Capitolini - Sito Ufficiale
The creation of the Capitoline Museums has been traced back to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated a group of bronze statues of great symbolic value to the People of Rome.
The collections are closely linked to the city of Rome, and most of the exhibits come from the city itself.
Baths of Caracalla / Thermae Antoninianae - see Wikipedia
The Baths of Caracalla were Roman public baths, or thermae, built in Rome between 212 and 216 CE, during
the reign of the Emperor Caracalla. The extensive ruins of the baths have become a popular tourist attraction.

Colosseum
The Colosseum is the most famous monument of Ancient Rome. Its original name is Flavian Amphitheatre. It
was started by the Emperor Vespasian between 70 and 76 AD, and completed by his son Titus in 80 AD. The
Colosseum was dedicated the year after Vespasian's death by Titus. They celebrated the opening by holding
100 days worth of games there. It was built on the site where Nero had had a huge villa for himself (Domus
Aurea). Vespasian wanted to build something for the people rather than for himself. It got its popular name,
the Colosseum, because it was built near where Nero had erected a huge statue, or colossus of himself. It
showed him as the god of the sun. It was 100 feet high, and it was the largest gilded bronze statue in antiquity. It was later moved away. It took 24 elephants to move it! See Wikipedia.
Trajan's Forum / Foro Trajano
The forum was built on the order of Emperor Trajan with the spoils of war from the conquest of Dacia, which
ended in 106. The Fasti Ostiensi states that the Forum was inaugurated in 112, while Trajan's Column was inaugurated in 113.

Forum Romanum - central area around which ancient Rome developed
The Roman Forum, the most important archaeological area in Rome, extends from the Capitol Hill to the Palatine. See Wikipedia
Pantheon - a temple built in 27 BC to all Roman gods, now a Christian church
The Pantheon is the building of ancient Rome which has been preserved best down to the present day, and is
a true masterpiece of architecture. The name of Agrippa, which can still be read on the façade, remembers
the son-in-law of the Emperor Augustus, who first built this temple dedicated "to all the gods". The present
-day Pantheon however, completely different from the original, is the work of the Emperor Hadrian, who rebuilt the monument in the early 2nd century, keeping only the ancient inscription out of modesty.
In the 6th century the Byzantine emperor Phocas gave the building to Pope Boniface IV, who turned it into the present church of Sancta Maria ad Martyres.
The Pantheon today is the sanctuary of the kings of Italy: in fact it holds the tombs of Victor Emmanuel II, Humbert I and Margherita di Savoia
Spanish Steps / Piazza di Spagna
The Spanish Steps ramp a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and the church Trinità dei
Monti above. The monumental stairway, of 138 steps, was built with French diplomat Stefano Gueffier's
funds (20,000 scudi) in 1723–1725, linking the Bourbon Spanish embassy to the Holy See, today still located in the piazza below, with the Trinità dei Monti church above. See Wikipedia
Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona is the pride of Baroque Rome. It has sculptural and architectural creations: by Gian Lorenzo
Bernini, the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers, 1651) in the center; by Francesco
Borromini and Girolamo Rainaldi, the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone; and by Pietro da Cortona, who painted the gallery in the Pamphilj palace.
Saint Peters Square
St. Peter's Square, or St. Peter's Piazza [ Piazza San Pietro ], is located directly in front of St. Peter's Basilica, in Vatican City. See St. Peter's Basilica.
Vittoriano - national monument - Sito del Vittoriano - Museo del Risorgimento
History and Imperial Rome comes to life in the extensive ruins of the Forum, once the business hub of the

Peter's dominates Vatican City, home to Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel and countless other masterpieces. Don't miss the Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain… the list goes on.

The Families Who Made Rome: A History and a Guide
- by Anthony Majanlahti
... How often does a visitor to Rome drift towards some landmark - the palazzo Barberini, say, or piazza
Colonna - and wonder who created it? Why? What was their story? This fascinating book provides the answer. At once a history and a guide, sumptuous and authoritative, it divides Rome into the districts
dominated by the noble clans who in turn became fabulously rich when one of their members was made Pope: the Cenci, Colonna, della Rovere, Farnese, Borghese, Barberini and others. In each case Anthony
Majanlahti tells the family story - powerful, bloody and vivid - with all the scandals and intrigues and
scrabbling for power, the building of palazzi and piazza and churches, as well as relationships with artists
like Bernini and Michelangelo. An itinerary with maps and engravings then allows readers to walk round the area, with a detailed guide to buildings, streets, gardens and special features...
