Clivus Capitolinus, Ancient paved road in Roman Forum, Italy
The Clivus Capitolinus stretches from the Temple of Saturn upward through the Roman Forum to reach the Capitoline Hill summit.
Built in the 8th century BCE during the Roman monarchy, this road witnessed Julius Caesar crawling on his knees after an ominous sign during his triumph.
The path represented the final segment of Roman triumphal processions, leading victorious generals to the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus.
Modern visitors can walk along the preserved stone pavement between the Temple of Saturn and Temple of Vespasian to experience ancient Roman engineering.
In 174 BCE, censors Quintus Fulvius Flaccus and Aulus Postumius Albinus added a portico along the road and reinforced its pavement structure.
