Lapis Niger

#romanforum The Lapis Niger is one of the most mysterious sites in the Roman Forum. This ancient black stone, located near the Curia Julia, is inscribed with one of the oldest known Latin texts. It is believed to mark either the tomb of Romulus, Rome’s legendary founder, or a sacred site related to early Roman kings. The significance of this site is still debated, adding to its intrigue. Though not as visually striking as other ruins, its historical importance makes it a fascinating stop. For those interested in Rome’s earliest history and archaeological mysteries, the Lapis Niger is a hidden gem.
