first as forum boarium and then as forum romanum one of Rome's most recognizable marks, is there a secret para-history? any links with the mysticism of the time?

When the mind's eye rests on objects illuminated by truth and reality, it understands and comprehends them, and functions intelligently; but when it turns to the twilight world of change and decay, it can only form opinions, its vision is confused and its beliefs shifting, and it seems to lack intelligence. (Plato, Republic)

That is a database of Roman/Latin based articles on historical matters, I hope you know how to use the databases (just enter phrases or words that you need, make sure you tell the database what your looking for, a specific word or the exact phrase).


Not sure what exactly you need, but if you specify, I'll try and help.
