Roman ruins
Empire's crumbling legacy
Roman ruins are the architectural remnants of ancient Rome and its empire—temples, aqueducts, amphitheaters, baths, and roads that have survived centuries of decay.
The phrase evokes crumbling columns and weathered stone across Mediterranean landscapes: We spent the afternoon exploring Roman ruins outside the city.
Tourist sites from Britain to North Africa preserve these structures as windows into classical civilization.
