forum of caesar
This was the first of the imperial forums that were constructed in Rome to relieve the overcrowded Roman Forum. Its construction started in 54 BC, on the order of Julius Caesar, and was completed in 46 BC, when Julius Caesar won a battle against his rival Pompey the Great. That is why the Forum of Caesar is also to the Temple of Venus Genetrix, a monument built to celebrate his victory. Visitors can still admire the columns and platform of the temple. However you need to know that these are not part of the original temple, who burnt down in 80 AD, but of a rebuilt version completed under the ruling of the Roman Emperor Trajan.
