Capitolium.org - Imperial Forums Official Website - Rome, Italy Benvenuto al sito ufficiale dei Fori Imperiali di Roma per l'anno del giubileo 2000. Questo progetto partì nel 1999 per celebrare il traguardo del nuovo millennio dell'area archeologica dei Fori Imperiali e Romani, vicini al Colosseo di Roma. Questo sito web fu creato con il patrocinio del Comune di Roma e del suo sindaco, grazie alla sponsorizzazione di Canon e Microsoft Italia. Il sito contiene oltre 1.000 documenti. Benvenuti a Roma! Benvenuti nel più grande cantiere moderno dell’antichità, nella più vasta area di scavo, di studio e di ricerca aperta in questo momento al mondo. Per questo è nato questo sito, la voce ufficiale degli scavi. Qui potrete trovare i dettagli tecnici degli scavi e dei ritrovamenti, il racconto storico dell’età degli Imperatori, la riproposizione di momenti della vita quotidiana degli antichi romani, immagini dal vivo e d’archivio. E' una ricchezza che deve essere messa a disposizione degli studiosi ma soprattutto del grande pubblico.

Price Guide and Tipping Tipping is appreciated but not always appropriate in London. There are some situations where it is customary, for example in restaurants. Here are a few guidelines, although ultimately tips (or gratuities) are discretionary and depend on the quality of the service you receive. Tipping in London's Restaurants It is customary to leave 10-15% of the bill when eating out. Top tip: Although restaurants (and other businesses) should make their policy clear, it's worth checking with your waiter that he/she will personally receive your tip rather than the company – particularly if you're paying by credit card. Tipping in Bars and Pubs People generally do not tip in pubs in London. Tipping in Hotels in London Like restaurants, most London hotel bills include a service charge, usually 10-12%. Tipping Taxi Drivers It is polite to tip 10-15% of the taxi fare for black cabs and licensed minicabs in London. Read about British currency
