Forum of Caesar, Archaeological site in Rome, Italy
The Forum of Caesar features a rectangular layout with a temple dedicated to Venus Genetrix at its eastern end and colonnaded porticoes along three sides.

The Temple of Venus Genetrix contained precious works of art, including paintings by Timomachos depicting Ajax and Medea.

The forum included ten tabernae and the largest public latrine discovered in Rome, featuring an underground system of brick pillars for sewage management.
