Has the security increased after Brussels? Are there places to sit in the Palatine and Roman forum. I was planning to take a small light stool. Do you think it will be allowed? Thanks.

There's really no need for increased security at these two sites: they've had bag checks and restrictions in place for awhile:
"It is confirmed the prohibition of bringing backpacks , camping , bulky bags and luggage / trolley, can be introduced medium and small size backpacks to shoulder, which must be checked, as any other bag, with metal detectors, opened and visually inspected by the Urbe Security Institute, responsible for the entrance inspection."
I vaguely recall that there were places to sit throughout the Palatine but memory fails me at the Forum other than steps to some of the churches and ruins, and low, protective walls around others. You might get away with one of those canes with the small, folding seats attached.
A google of pictures of both sites will be helpful: look for where visitors are taking a breather.
