Day 3 Rome: Piazza del Campidoglio (Stop 4 of 6) 2 of 2

Explore the Capitoline Hill: Hidden Viewpoints & Ancient Roman Road 🏛️🌄 From Piazza del Campidoglio, you can discover two breathtaking viewpoints and walk along an ancient Roman road. ✨ First Viewpoint: Walk toward the stairs as if leaving the square. Before reaching the staircase, turn left (see red arrow in the video) and continue through the archway. You'll find a quiet garden in Piazzale Caffarelli, offering a serene view of Rome without the crowds. Enjoy sights like the Vittorio Emanuele II Monument and Teatro Marcello, where the old and new parts of the city blend beautifully. ✨ Second Viewpoint: Return to the main square and walk left, passing the column with the she-wolf statue. Head down the stairs to admire the impressive Arch of Septimius Severus and the Roman Forum. 🏺 History of the Arch of Septimius Severus: Romans loved arches, symbolizing their victories. This arch, dedicated in 200 AD, originally bore the names of Emperor Septimius Severus and his sons, Caracalla and Geta. However, history took a tragic turn—Caracalla had Geta’s name erased after murdering him to secure sole power. He replaced it with the phrase Optimis Fortissimisque Principibus ("to the best and bravest of princes"). 🛤️ Walking the Ancient Clivus Argentarius Road: Facing the stairs, walk right onto the ancient Roman road, once used by emperors and citizens alike. This road connected the Forum with Capitoline Hill, creating a tangible link to the past. 🕵️ Scavenger Hunt Fun: For those with kids—or just a sense of adventure—try spotting the letter V carved into the stones, marking the older ones used in road repairs. 📍 Rome Travel Tips: Whether you're exploring on your own or with family, this area offers a perfect blend of history and scenic beauty. #RomeTravel #AncientRome #CapitolineHill #RomanForum #PiazzaDelCampidoglio #HiddenGems #TravelItaly #HistoryLovers #WalkingTour #DiscoverRome #ScavengerHunt #RomanRoads #EternalCity #MustSeeRome
