Keep in mind that back in the day, some 2000 years ago, much of this would have been covered in marble (later reused in other buildings) so the view would have been quite different back then - and not only because the buildings would have been whole.
Closest to the camera is the Forum of Caesar (or Forum Iulium - in Italian Foro di Cesare), and the pillars to the far left belong to the temple of Venus Genetrix (Templum Veneris Genetricis / Tempio di Venere Genitrice). The street then, separating these ruins from the rest, is Via dei Fori Imperiali. And on the other side of the street you have, from left to right, Trajan's market, with the Torre delle Milizie behind it, Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi (House of the Knights of Rhodes) in their house from the late 13th century, which is now used by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (it's their red flag you can see), and behind that you can see Angelicum Pontificia Università San Tommaso D'Aquino, and finally to the right Forum of Augustus with some of the remains of the Mars Ultor temple.

This statue was found in Rome on the Palatine, near Domus Tiberiana, in 1862. She was severely damaged and missing several body-parts. She was actually also missing her feet, you can see where the modern reconstruction ends and the original begins quite easily. She is made of Thassos marble.
This statue is thought (according to the museum, Museo Palatino), to be either a Roman copy of a 5th BC Greek original by the sculptor Callimachus, or a Roman original, depicting Venus Genetrix - this form of the goddess was thought to be the founder of the Julio-Claudian dynasty (from which all early Roman emperors - in some way at least - heralded from).

The Forum of Caesar ruins, located between the Altar of the Fatherland and the Trajan Forum along the Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Temple of Venus and Rome, Basilica of Maxentius and Colosseum is a magnificent group of Roman ruins dating back to 46 BC. The most prominent structure in this section is the three columns remaining of the Temple of Venus Genetrix, commissioned by Julius Caesar, but completed after his assassination. These three columns are actually from a later reconstruction, during the reign of Diocletian in 283 AD.

Monti is the name of one of the twenty-two Rioni of Rome, rione I. The name literally means mountains in Italian. In ancient times the rione was a busy place: in Monti there were the Forum Romanum and the so-called Suburra: this was the place poor people lived. In the Middle Ages the situation was completely different: the Roman aqueducts were damaged, and it was very difficult to bring water to Monti since it was on the hills. Hence many inhabitants moved to a lower level part of Rome, where they could drink the water from the river Tiber. From the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 19th century, the rione remained an area full of vineyards and market gardens. Monti was not densely populated because of the lack of water and because it was quite far from the Vatican, the center of Christian culture. The area did not become abandoned thanks to the church of San Giovanni in Laterano and the constant high number of pilgrims. Still in the Middle Ages the inhabitants of Monti, called monticiani, developed a strong identity: their Roman dialect was different from that spoken in the other rioni. Their main enemies were the people from the other rione with a strong identity, Trastevere, and they often used to fight with one another. Then, with growing urbanization at the end of the 19th century after Rome had become the capital of a united Italy, the great changes completely changed the appearance of the rione. The archaeological buildings of the Forum Romanum were excavated and can be visited.

Monti is de naam van één van de eenentwintig wijken (rioni) in Rome. Het betekent letterlijk ‘’bergen’’ in het Italiaans. Ten tijde van de Romeinen was deze wijk overbevolkt. Niet alleen bevond zich er het Forum Romanum, maar ook de buitenwijken waar de armen woonden, waren hier. Deze kregen de naam Suburra, wat ‘’buitenwijk’’ in het Latijn betekent. In de Middeleeuwen lag de situatie echter helemaal anders: verscheidene aquaducten waren beschadigd en zodoende was het moeilijk om water naar Monti te brengen. Als gevolg hiervan vertrokken vele inwoners naar een lager gelegen wijk, waar men drinkbaar water uit de Tiber kon gebruiken. Van de Middeleeuwen tot begin 1800 stond de wijk vol wijngaarden en marktplaatsen. Niet alleen waren er weinig inwoners door het gebrek aan water, maar ook de betrekkelijk grote afstand naar Vaticaanstad speelde een rol, gezien dit het centrum van de christenen was. De voornaamste reden dat dit gebied niet helemaal verlaten werd, is te danken aan de kerk van Sint-Jan van Lateranen, waar constant pelgrims naartoe trokken. In de Middeleeuwen ontwikkelden de inwoners van Monti, monticiani genoemd, een sterke identiteit. Het was zelfs zo dat hun Romeinse dialect anders was dan dat van de andere wijken in de stad. Hun voornaamste vijanden waren de bewoners van Trastevere, die ook een sterke identiteit bezaten met als gevolg dat er dikwijls gevochten werd tussen de twee. Tussen 1924 en 1936, onderging de wijk grote veranderingen. De gebouwen op het Forum Romanum, met grote archeologische waarde, werden opgedolven van onder de grond. Dankzij zijn ideale ligging, is Monti tegenwoordig de ideale plek om naar archeologische pareltjes te gaan kijken.

constructed in Salvador da Bahia in 1855
This fountain won the gold medal on World Exposition same year in Paris and was then copied in many european cities. Bordeaux and Lisbon.only two of them.
Fonte no Terreiro de Jesus
Esse chafariz neoclássico, de extraordinária elegância, foi inaugurado no Terreiro de Jesus, em oito de dezembro de 1856, dia de N.S. da Conceição da Praia.
Começou a ser instalado possivelmente em 1855,
Fazia parte do ousado sistema de águas do Queimado, o primeiro sistema de água encanada do Brasil. Sua inauguração ocorreu conjuntamente com outros chafarizes, como o da Água de Meninos, o da Praça do Comércio, o do Largo do Theatro e o da Piedade.
Foi construído para o fornecimento de água à população, com um encanamento que se estendia inicialmente até o Convento de São Francisco. A água do Sistema do Queimado era capaz de subir 11 metros e 5 cm acima do adro da Catedral. Foi confeccionado em ferro fundido e mármore de Carrara, na antiga Fonderie d'Art du Val d'Osne. O chafariz possui sete metros de altura e está assentado em uma base de mármore circular, com 15 metros de circunferência.
Suas alegorias representam riquezas e características da Bahia. É encimado por uma escultura de Ceres (veja referência ao lado), deusa da fertilidade e da abundância agrícola. A base de seus pés é adornada com taboas, planta da família das tifáceas, comum no Brasil. Embaixo da primeira bacia de ferro fundido estão quatro meninas de mãos dadas. Mais embaixo, está uma bacia poligonal ornada com delfins, guirlandas e conchas marinhas. As esculturas da base (duas de entidades femininas e duas masculinas) representam os quatro principais rios da Bahia: Jequitinhonha, Paraguaçu, Pardo e São Francisco. Essas esculturas são do artista francês Mathurin Moreau, que chegou a dirigir, por algum tempo, a fundição Val d'Osne.
Em 1858 ou 1857, uma fotografia de Victor Frond, registrou sua imagem pela primeira vez. Em 1859, sua beleza foi elogiada pelo Imperador Dom Pedro II.
Esse modelo de chafariz foi apresentado na Exposição Universal de Paris (sem a escultura de Ceres), onde recebeu medalha de ouro. As esculturas dos rios representavam originalmente o deus Netuno, as nereidas Galateia e Anfitrite, e o pastor Ácis.
Entre os cerca de 20 chafarizes conhecidos, de modelos similares ao de Salvador, espalhados pelo mundo, o do Terreiro de Jesus é o mais antigo e o mais completo. Dos cerca de 22 chafarizes que existiram em Salvador, pelo menos três ou quatro eram da Val d'Osne. A fonte da Piedade e o Monumento a Colombo, no Rio Vermelho, possuem outros conjuntos de esculturas de Mathurin Moreau, originários de outros chafarizes.

Aphrodite du type "Vénus Génitrix'', como é identificada esta escultura no Museu do Louvre e reproduzida, com alterações, para o chafariz de Salvador.
Esta escultura é uma das réplicas romanas de uma Afrodite do século 5 aC, desaparecida, atribuída ao escultor ateniense Calímaco.
Ela foi encomendada por Julio Cesar, em 46 aC, ao escultor Arcésilas, para o templo de Vênus Genetrix, em Roma.
Esta escultura do Louvre, entretanto, não é a mesma esculpida por Arcésilas. Por volta de 1685, esta réplica decorava os jardins de Versalhes. Em 1803, foi doada ao Louvre. A escultura de Arcésilas foi provavelmente destruída quando o templo foi incendiado posteriormente.
São conhecidas outras réplicas antigas, mas, em geral, faltando braços ou a cabeça. A reprodução, em melhor estado, é a Louvre.

Julius Caesar decided to build a large square in his name, which was inaugurated in 46 BC, probably still incomplete, and was finished later by Augustus.
Unlike the Roman Forum was a joint project: a square with arcades along the sides and in the center of the bottom side of the temple dedicated to Venus Genetrix, from where Julius Caesar claimed descent through Iulus, the progenitor of the gens Iulia , son of Aeneas, in turn the son of the goddess.
_____________________________________
Giulio Cesare decise di costruire una grande piazza a suo nome, che fu inaugurata nel 46 a.C., probabilmente ancora incompleta, e fu terminata poi da Augusto.
A differenza del Foro Romano si trattava di un progetto unitario: una piazza con portici sui lati lunghi e con al centro del lato di fondo il tempio dedicato a Venere Genitrice, da cui Giulio Cesare si vantava di discendere attraverso Iulo, il progenitore della gens Iulia, figlio di Enea, a sua volta figlio della dea.
Caesar decided to construct a forum bearing his name in the northeast section of the Forum Romanum. Forum construction began in 54 BC. It measured 160 x 75 m, stretching from the Argiletum on the southeast side of the Forum Romanum to the Atrium Libertatis. On completion in 46 BC it was dedicated to Caesar and his deeds.
The Forum became a place for public business that was related to the Senate in addition to a shrine for Caesar himself as well as Venus Genetrix.

Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
"I am I
Apothosis crowned with a black sun nimbus
Of seven Immolating rays
Risen from a sea of cacophony and darkness
And invested within starless night
With the left hand stir the serpent
Who slumbers before the throne of Ariemanios
Awaken!
Seven storm clouds of Typhonian winds
Ten horns to rend!
Poison for poison
Confound hymn of praise
Omega, Upsilon, Omicron, Iota, Eta, Epsilon, Alpha
From this sphere shines black illumination!
From this sphere comes wrathful fire!

And with the stroke Kasyade, strike the womb
of the genetrix

The figure exemplifies a statue type now known as the Venus Genetrix, which is based on a Greek sculpture created in about 410 B.C. Copies of famous Greek statues were popular among wealthy Romans, who displayed them in their villas.
The Forum of Caesar or “Foro di Cesare” in Rome is one of a series of Imperial Forums built by successive Roman emperors. First commissioned by Julius Caesar in around 54 BC and completed in 46 BC, the Forum of Caesar was the first of these forums and was intended to relieve the already overcrowded Roman Forum.
At the time of the opening of the Forum of Caesar, the famous Roman leader had won a victory over his rival Pompey the Great. A celebration of this victory was constructed at the Forum of Caesar in the form of the Temple of Venus Genetrix. The godess to which the temple was dedicated was the defender of the Julian clan.
Today, the columns and platform of a Temple of Venus Genetrix can be seen at the Forum of Caesar.
Wide/Panoramic view of the Forum Caesaris as seen from the Via dei Fori Imperiali.
This ancient forum is located just north of the Roman Forum directly behind Capitoline Hill and the Victor Emmanuel II Monument. Both are visible in the background.
The forum was built by Julius Caesar in 46 BC as an expansion to the Roman Forum. It included a Temple of Venus Genetrix, the patron goddess of his family/clan (the Julia gens). Three columns of the temple remain standing and are visible to the right.

Julius Caesar built this forum, Il Foro di Cesare, just north east of the main Roman Forum built between 54 to 46 BC.
Caesar said it was to relieve the overcrowding at the Roman Forum, but it also came to serve his political purposes. It was the first of a series of imperial forums built by this 'proto-emperor' and successive emperors.
The forum had a rectangular open piazza of 100 by 50 metres and a Temple of Venus Genetrix. The goddess was considered to be the progenitor of the Caesar's patrician family clan, the 'gens Iulia'. The three erect columns (just right of centre here) are the main visible remnant.
At left are the ruins of the Basilica Argentaria, an addition during the time of the Emperor Trajan in the 2nd Century AD.

This fine statue is a copy of a famous Greek bronze attributed to the Classical Greek sculptor Kallimachos. Existing copies of the “Venus Genetrix” type always show the goddess draped in “transparent” garments – a sculptural style popular towards the end of the 5th century BC.
Located near Capitoline Hill, just behind the Victor Emmanuel II Monument, is the Forum of Caesar, or Forum Caesaris.
It was built by Julius Caesar in 46 BC as an expansion to the Roman Forum. It included a Temple of Venus Genetrix, the patron goddess of his family/clan (the Julia gens). Three columns of the temple remain standing.
The Via dei Fori Imperiali can be seen along the far left.

The Imperial Fora are a series of monumental fora (public squares), constructed in Rome over a period of one and a half centuries, between 46 BC and 113 AD.
The Forum of Caesar was the first of the Imperial Fora. Caesar constructed it as an extension to the Roman Forum. Caesar had placed, on the front of his forum, a temple devoted to Venus Genetrix, since Caesar's family (gens Julia) claimed to descend by Venus through Aeneas.
Venus was a major Roman goddess principally associated with love and beauty, the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. She was considered the ancestor of the Roman people as the mother of its legendary founder, Aeneas, and played a key role in many Roman religious festivals and myths.
Venus' cult began in Ardea and Lavinium, Latium. On August 18, 293 BC, her oldest-known temple was built, and August 18 became a festival called the Vinalia Rustica. On April 23, 215 BC, a temple was built outside the Colline gate on the Capitol dedicated to Venus to commemorate the Roman defeat at the Battle of Lake Trasimene.
Venus was commonly associated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the Etruscan deity Turan, borrowing aspects from each. Additionally, Venus has been compared to Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli in Aztec mythology, Kukulcan in Maya mythology, Frigg and Freyja in the Norse mythos, and Ushas in Vedic religion. Ushas is also linked to Venus by a Sanskrit epithet ascribed to her, vanas- ("loveliness; longing, desire"), which is cognate to Venus, suggesting a Proto-Indo-European link via the reconstructed stem *wen- "to desire."
Like other major Roman deities, Venus was ascribed a number of epithets to refer to different aspects or roles of the goddess.
Venus Cloacina ("Venus the Purifier"), also known as Venus Cluacina, was a fusion of Venus with the Etruscan water goddess Cloacina, likely resulting from a statue of Venus being prominent near the Cloaca Maxima, Rome's sewer system. The statue was erected on the spot where peace was concluded between the Romans and Sabines.
Venus Erycina ("Venus from Eryx"), also called Venus Erucina, originated on Mount Eryx in western Sicily. Temples were erected to her on the Capitoline Hill and outside the Porta Collina. She embodied "impure" love, and was the patron goddess of prostitutes. Venus Felix ("Lucky Venus") was an epithet used for a temple on the Esquiline Hill and for a temple constructed by Hadrian dedicated to "Venus Felix et Roma Aeterna" ("Favorable Venus and Eternal Rome") on the north side of the Via Sacra.
Venus Genetrix ("Mother Venus") was Venus in her role as the ancestress of the Roman people, a goddess of motherhood and domesticity. A festival was held in her honor on September 26. As Venus was regarded as the mother of the Julian gens in particular, Julius Caesar dedicated a temple to her in Rome.
Venus Libertina ("Venus the Freedwoman") was an epithet of Venus that probably arose from an error, with Romans mistaking lubentina (possibly meaning "pleasurable" or "passionate") for libertina. Possibly related is Venus Libitina, also called Venus Libentina, Venus Libentia, Venus Lubentina, Venus Lubentini and Venus Lubentia, an epithet that probably arose from confusion between Libitina, a funeral goddess, and the aforementioned lubentina, leading to an amalgamation of Libitina and Venus. A temple was dedicated to Venus Libitina on the Esquiline Hill.
Venus Obsequens ("Graceful Venus" or "Indulgent Venus") was an epithet to which a temple was dedicated in the late 3rd century BC during the Third Samnite War by Quintus Fabius Maximus Gurges. It was built with money fined from women who had been found guilty of adultery. It was the oldest temple of Venus in Rome, and was probably situated at the foot of the Aventine Hill near the Circus Maximus. Its dedication day, August 19, was celebrated in the Vinalia Rustica.
On April 1, the Veneralia was celebrated in honor of Venus Verticordia ("Venus the Changer of Hearts"), the protector against vice. A temple to Venus Verticordia was built in Rome in 114 BC, and dedicated April 1, at the instruction of the Sibylline Books to atone for the inchastity of three Vestal Virgins.
Venus Victrix ("Venus the Victorious") was an aspect of Venus to which Pompey dedicated a temple at the top of his theater in the Campus Martius in 55 BC. There was also a shrine to Venus Victrix on the Capitoline Hill, and festivals to her on August 12 and October 9. A sacrifice was annually dedicated to her on the latter date. In neo-classical art, this title is often used in the sense of 'Venus Victorious over men's hearts' or in the context of the Judgement of Paris (eg Canova's Venus Victrix, a half-nude reclining portrait of Pauline Bonaparte).
Other significant epithets for Venus included Venus Amica ("Venus the Friend"), Venus Armata ("Armed Venus"), Venus Caelestis ("Celestial Venus"), and Venus Aurea ("Golden Venus").

Tarajan's Forum
تصميم المهندس المعماري
نقولوس الدمشقي
The forum was built on the order of Emperor Trajan with the spoils of war from the conquest of Dacia, which ended in 106. The Fasti Ostiensi states that the Forum was inaugurated in 112, while Trajan's Column was inaugurated in 113.
To build this monumental complex, extensive excavations were required: workers eliminated the sides of the Quirinal and Capitoline Hills, which closed the valley occupied by the Imperial forums toward the Campus Martius.
It is possible that the excavations were initiated under Emperor Domitian, while the project of the Forum was completely attributed to the architect Apollodorus of Damascus, who also accompanied Emperor Trajan in the Dacian campaign.
During the time of the construction, several other projects took place: The Markets of Trajan were constructed, Caesar's Forum,and the Temple of Venus Genetrix were renovated.

Appias：古羅馬凱撒大帝（Julius Caesar, 100-44 BC）為紀念出身於Julia貴族世家，特別在凱撒廣場（Forum of Caesar）內建築一座「母神維納斯神廟」（Temple of Venus Genetrix）（羅馬人自稱為Aeneas後裔，而Aeneas為Venus之子）。根據Ovid（43 BC-17/18 AD）所述，神廟中心有座噴泉，噴泉四周豎立五座Appias雕像，合稱Appiades。一般認為五座雕像分別是和諧女神Concordia、智慧女神Minerva、和平女神Pax、生育女神Venus、家庭女神Vesta。另Cicero（106-43 BC）為奉承羅馬Appius Claudius貴族，於書簡中稱女神Minerva為Appias。
paulina：源自拉丁語paulus，「很少的、幼小的、瑣碎的、短暫的」之意。
minato：語源或有二：其一來自拉丁語mino「驅使、推動、激勵、恐嚇」；其二來自日語みなと「港（港口）、湊（組裝）」之意，或人名與地名「吉田」。本亞種由Hans Fruhstorfer（1866-1922）於1898年命名，模式標本採集自Ishigaki（石垣島）。

Two winged Cupids perform a tauroctony - a sacrifice of sacred bulls. Each Cupid has pinned a bull down with a knee to the animal’s back, grabbing the snout and pulling it back to expose the throat. They are sacrificing the bulls to their mother, Venus. A beautiful candelabrum with a flaming cauldron at top separates the two sacrifices. Fruit burns in the cauldron, as part of the sacrifice. Several of these relief, including ones with the Cupids turned away from each other as they sacrifice, and others with Cupids holding a large fruited garland, formed a frieze which ran around the exterior and interior walls of the temple’s cella.
The Temple of Venus Genetrix was part of the Forum of Caesar, which was dedicated by Julius Caesar on 26 September, 46 BCE, the last day of his triumph, celebrating his defeat of Pompey. The temple had several treasures, including statues of Caesar, a collection of jewels, and a gilded statue of Cleopatra, his mistress.
