The Roman Forum (in Latin Forum Romanum, although the Romans referred to it more often as Forum Magnum or simply Forum) is an archaeological area of Rome enclosed between the Palatine Hill, the Campidoglio, Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Colosseum, consisting of the stratification of the remains of those buildings and monuments of heterogeneous eras that for much of the ancient history of Rome represented the political, legal, religious and economic center of the city of Rome, as well as the nerve center of the entire Roman civilization.
The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman circus, dedicated to horse racing, built in Rome. Located in the valley between the Palatine and the Aventine, it is remembered as a venue for games since the beginning of the history of the city: the mythical episode of the rape of the Sabine women took place in the valley, on the occasion of the games organized by Romulus in honor of the god Consus. Certainly, the large flat area and its proximity to the Tiber landing where commercial exchanges took place from the remotest antiquity, meant that the place constituted since the foundation of the city the elective space in which to conduct market activities and exchanges with other populations, and - consequently - also the related ritual activities (think of the maximum altar of Hercules) and socialization, such as games and competitions.
The Jewish ghetto of Rome is among the oldest ghettos in the world; it arose in fact 40 years after that of Venice which is the first ever. The term derives from the name of the Venetian district, gheto, where there was a foundry (precisely gheto in Venetian), where the Jews of that city were forced to reside; another possible etymology traces the origin of this word back to the Hebrew גט ghet (pl. גיטים ghittim or גיטין ghittin), which means separation.
