Built by Emperor Octavian Augustus, it was intended to house the Temple of Mars Ultor, distinguishing it from the Roman Forum.

The Foro di Augusto is one of the imperial forums in Rome, built by Emperor Octavian Augustus. Its inauguration took place in 2 BC. The main element of the forum was the Temple of Mars Ultor, which Augustus promised to build after the Battle of Philippi. Here you can admire the remains of monumental columns, fragments of walls, and statues of Roman emperors. The forum was a symbol of the power and achievements of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
