Listen to the story of the Lapis Niger (Latin for ‘black stone’), the most ancient Latin text ever discovered in the world - which is housed in the foundation of a column in the Forum. Discover the Temple of the Vestal Virgins. They worked in the temple for a period of 30 years under different emperors and were regarded almost as goddesses in status.

The Temple of Vesta (Latin Aedes Vestae; Italian: Tempio di Vesta) is an ancient edifice in Rome, Italy, located in the Roman Forum near the Regia and the House of the Vestal Virgins.

The extant temple used Greek architecture with Corinthian columns, marble, and a central cella. The remaining structure indicates that there were twenty Corinthian columns built on a podium fifteen meters in diameter. The roof probably had a vent at the apex to allow smoke release.

Clear filterColosseum and Roman Forum private tour with Rosalba
Published on Jan, 2025
Rosalba was a wonderful and cheerful guide on our three hour tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. She brought history to life with in-depth stories and details that I wouldn't have noticed had I simply gone on my own, and as an added bonus handled all of the ticketing and communication with security and entry staff. If you find yourself in Rome I highly recommend Rosalba if you're looking for a guided tour.
