The history of Rome’s largest fountain can be traced back to the year 19 BC, and there’s a curious myth about this beautifully crafted Renaissance water feature: throw in one coin to return to Rome; two coins to fall in love with an attractive Italian; and three coins to marry the person that you’ve met. Around one million euros are collected up from the fountain annually and donated to charitable causes.
Considered to be the first covered shopping mall in recorded history, this impressive multi-levelled market was built in the early 2nd century AD.

Visit the Imperial Forum Museum to learn the history of this grand complex, with fascinating exhibitions that bring the past to life.
