The Imperial Fora are a series of five monumental squares built over a century and a half (between 46 BC and 113 AD) in the heart of the city of Rome by Julius Caesar and the emperors Augustus, Vespasian, Nerva and Trajan.
They represent one of the main attractions of the Eternal City, thanks to their state of preservation and above all their very long history. In fact, their construction coincides with the maximum extension of the Roman Empire, and they therefore represent the true cradle of our civilisation.
Given their long centuries of life, many are the curiosities they still conceal. But even simply shedding some light on their names and layout can be really interesting.
