 Forums of Cesare
and Augustus
We
are in the center of ancient Rome where people lived
and died, now considered as ruins, things of the past
spanning over 2,000 years; this is forums of Cesare
and Augustus.
Julio
Caesar built the first Imperial Forum 56-54 BC that
replaced the old forum. Caesar
spent a fortune buying up and demolishing houses on
the site. All that remains today is a platform and three
Corinthian columns.
 Forum of Augustus
Built
to celebrate Augustus's victory over Brutus and Cassius,
the assassins of Julio Caesar, the temple was dedicated
to Mars the Avenger. |
