📝 Quick summary of key information

What can the stones of a very old city tell us?

Imagine yourself, little explorer, in the heart of ancient Rome. The stones of the Roman Forum, the center of public life, tell amazing stories. They were silent witnesses to the bustling markets, religious ceremonies, and speeches of great orators.

A stone from the market could tell you about the colorful stalls filled with fruits, vegetables, and spices. The sellers shouted their prices, and the children ran between the stalls, curious and excited. The stones have seen thousands of faces and heard thousands of laughs.

A stone from a temple could tell you stories of prayers and sacrifices. Priests in white robes sang hymns, and believers brought offerings. The stones felt the smoke of the incense and heard the whispers of the prayers.

The stones of an arch tell about the victories of great generals. They saw soldiers return as winners, with crowds cheering for their heroes. The stones heard victory songs and felt the pride of the Romans.

The Wonder of the Forum

In the summer heat of Rome, Maximus and Livia, two adventurous children, are going home after a day of exploring.

He dreams of becoming a legionnaire and loves solving mysteries‎ (3). Livia, his eight-year-old sister, is a mischievous and very curious little Roman. She wears a white dress, a golden belt, and a braid tied with a magic pearl. She spent the afternoon watching everything around her. They discovered how the Romans tame‎ (4) these big cats‎ (5) for shows. Today, they are ready for a new adventure. After sharing some jokes about the cats' tricks, they decide to go to the Roman Forum. This place, in the heart of the city, is a real treasure‎ (6) of stories and mysteries.

Maximus, amazed, shouts:
« Look, Livia, these columns are huge. »

Livia, amazed, adds:
« Yes, and the statues shine in the sun. »

Maximus, looking up at the statues, whispers:
« They seem to be watching us. »
