Introduction to the Roman Forum: The Roman Forum is located between the Palatine Hill and the Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. It was the city center in the ancient Roman era.
The construction of the Ancient Roman Forum began in the 6th century BC and until the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it concentrated a large number of religious and commemorative buildings in the Roman Empire.
The main part of the square is about 134 meters long and 63 meters wide. There is a basilica (rectangular synagogue) on the north and south sides for trials and gatherings; at the east end of the square are the Temple of Caesar and the Arc de Triomphe of Augustus; at the west end It is the reviewing stand and another triumphal arch; the Senate in the northwest corner of the square and the assembly hall in front of the gate form the political center; the Temple of Caesar and the Temple of Vesta and the Chief Priest's Palace to the east of the Arc de Triomphe of Augustus are the religious center; in the 4th century AD After the construction of the Basilica of Constantine, the square expanded to the east, and the Arch of Triumph was built. At the west end, there were two temples from the early AD outside the reviewing stand; during the Middle Ages, several ancient Roman-era buildings were converted into church. Later, the marble from ancient buildings was continuously removed and used for construction or burning lime, so that except for a few buildings, only ruins remained in the square complex.
