www.capitolium.org

The official Web site of the Roman forums, with pictorial reconstructions of how the ruins would have looked in their day, as well as how they look now; material on life in ancient Rome; and even a live Web view of the forum.

www.catacombe.roma.it

Official site of Rome’s Christian catacombs, with visuals, historical descriptions, and explanations of ancient symbols - a good supplement to our own accounts if you’re extra keen.

www.comune.roma.it

Italian-language Web site of the Rome city authorities.

www.enjoyrome.com

Helpful site of the helpful Rome tourist organization, with information on accommodation and tours - and links to other popular Rome Web sites.

www.gamberorosse.it/e/romausa

Nice site in English, detailing walks around Rome that take in Gambero Rosso’s speciality - restaurants and bars.

www.initaly.com/regions/latium

A quirky site that gives links, and subjective rundowns, on everything Italian - and in this case Roman.

www.roma2000.it

Everything about Rome in the Millennium, with comprehensive, if irregularly updated, information on all aspects of the city.

www.romeguide.it

The place to go whether you’re after a bus or walking tour of the city centre, a guide to a particular monument or gallery, even the chance to go on a “ghost tour” of Rome.

www.vatican.va

Slick, multilingual Web site of the Holy See, with material - some still under construction - on the Vatican Museums, the institutions of the city state, its newspaper online, and a calendar of the whole of the Holy Year’s events.

www.venere.it/home/lazio/roma

Probably the best site for accessing the Web pages of those hotels that have them - and booking rooms online
