Forum of Augustus, Archaeological site in Monti, Rome
The Forum of Augustus extends between the Capitol and Quirinal hills with a monumental wall made from peperino, gabine, and travertine reaching 33 meters.
Emperor Augustus initiated the construction of this forum after the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC to avenge Julius Caesar's assassination.
The forum displayed 108 portrait statues with inscriptions of achievements, representing Augustus's interpretation of Roman historical figures and military leaders.
Visitors can access the forum through Via dei Fori Imperiali, with advance tickets required for interior exploration and guided tours.
The Temple of Mars Ultor features white Carrara marble columns and served as the departure point for Roman generals before their military campaigns.
