About this place
Forum of Augustus is one of Rome’s Imperial Fora, created under Augustus and centered on the Temple of Mars Ultor. The forum and the temple were inaugurated together in 2 BC, after the project had first been vowed 40 years earlier. It makes a good stop for a short sightseeing visit.
Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:
- the Temple of Mars Ultor, which was the focal point of Augustus’ original design for the forum
- the remains of the unfinished forum, showing how long it took for the project to reach its inauguration in 2 BC
- a setting that works well as part of a longer walk through Rome’s ancient political and ceremonial center, among the Imperial Fora
If you plan to visit, comfortable shoes are a good idea, especially if you want to include it in a walking route around the Roman Forum area. This is a solid choice for travelers interested in ancient Rome, imperial history, and a compact stop for sightseeing.
