[00:00:00]Stop scrolling. [music] Did you know one of Rome's most famous ancient sites was actually a forgotten wasteland for centuries?

The Roman Forum, [music] once the absolute beating heart of the mighty Roman Empire, where emperors ruled and huge crowds [music] gathered, eventually fell into ruin.
