Seven Wonders of Ancient Rome: Circus Maximus and Trajan’s Forum

Synopsis
Explores the seven wonders of ancient Rome: the Pantheon, the Aqueducts, the Via Appia, the Baths of Caracalla, Trajan’s Market, Circus Maximus and the Colosseum. These were the works of great men who translated fantastic visions into the epitome of human achievement. These visionaries included ambitious Emporers like Hadrian, and engineers with revolutionary ideas such as Apollodorus. By the second century AD, Rome had become the ‘Caput Mundi’ - the head of the world.
