This is the first imperial forum, built by Julius Caesar in 46 BC, which introduced architectural order.

The Foro di Cesare is one of the imperial forums in Rome, built by Julius Caesar and completed in 46 BCE. It was the first forum to break with the traditional chaos of the Roman Forum, introducing architectural order. The central point of the forum was the Temple of Venus Genetrix, surrounded by porticoes. Today, fragments of columns and walls remain, allowing for the reconstruction of its former layout. It was an important element of imperial propaganda.
