The cross on the left marks where the Emperor's Box was. Fittingly, opposite was the Vestal Virgins' Box ... It used to have a wooden floor, and at one time, they tried to flood it to have sea battles The only section of original seating remaining The Emperor's Box Ancient seating plan, so you knew where your seat was. Original pit, with lock-up behind and irrigation channel on the left - ideal for lions, christians, ... Arch of Constantine, between the Colosseum and the Forum Arch of Titus at the start of the Forum Lots of public drinking fountains with good water. Remaining one third of the Basilica of Constantine ... pretty big! The orignal paths were a lot like Pompei - don't walk miles. Notice the green door, halfway up the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina - the dirt was up to the bottom of it before excavation started. Arch of Septimius Severus at the North end of the walk
