Amazing Rome

Stones Can Talk and They’ve Got a Lot to Tell Us. A fascinating tour in discovery of magnificent archaeological site: Forum of Augustus. Visitors will stand on a flight of Roman stairs to watch a multimedia show portraying the history of the Forum and temple dedicated to Mars Ultor. It was a temple that stood nine floors high and towered over the Forum of Augustus; access was via the halls of the courthouse. The tale also touches on the figure of Augustus, whose giant statue, a good 12 metres tall, dominated the area next to the temple.
