"Forum far below,
Empire sprawls in ruined grace
'neath Palatine Hill."

Today's photo-of-the-day is of the Roman Forum from the Palatine Hill. The Palatine Hill, "relative to the seven hills of Rome is the centremost, one of the most ancient parts of the city; it has been called 'the first nucleus of the Roman Empire.' Imperial palaces were built there, starting with Augustus."
A bonus photo (by Dessy) of Ellen and me on the Palatine Hill is after the jump.
