You're standing in the Roman Forum, at what's left of the Temple of Vesta. The first thing you notice: it's round. Most Roman temples are rectangular, but not this one. Its shape goes back to the simplest home of all, a round hut. The very first temple was probably little more than that, made of branches with a straw roof.
