Augustus Forumu Hakkında

The Forum of Augustus is an ancient Roman forum built by Emperor Augustus in Rome, Italy. Adjacent to the Forum of Caesar, it was inaugurated around 2 BCE to house the Temple of Mars Ultor.

Today, visitors can view its substantial remains, including portions of the temple podium, column bases, and enclosing walls. The site forms part of Rome's Imperial Fora archaeological zone. Its construction represented Augustus's political and religious program, connecting his lineage to Mars and avenging Caesar's assassination. The forum remains a significant monument of early Imperial Rome.
