Forum of Augustus (via dei Fori Imperiali)
Financed by the booty of wars, this forum was built by the emperor Augustus to commemorate the victory of Filippi, in 42 B.C., when Brutus and Cassius died.
Within one can still admire the three columns of the Temple of Marte Vetore, avenger of the homicide. The Senate met here to declare war and to ratify peace treaties. Inaugurated in 2 B.C., it symbolizes, with the beauty of its Corinthian columns, the ideals of the Augustan period.
It was surrounded by a high wall that isolated it from the turbulent Suburra neighborhood.
On the left rises the House of the Horsemen of Rodi. Built in the twelfth century and rebuilt in the fifteenth, it presents all the characteristics of a Renaissance dwelling, with large, richly decorated rooms.
