FORI IMPERIALI
The Imperial Fora consist of a series of monumental fora (public squares), constructed in Rome over a period of one and half centuries, between 46 BC and 113 AD. The forums were the center of the Roman Republic and of the Roman Empire.
The Imperial forums, while not part of the Roman Forum, are located relatively close to each other. Julius Caesar was the first to build in this section of Rome and rearranged both the Forum and the Comitium, another forum type space designated for politics, to do so. These forums were the centres of politics, religion and economy in the ancient Roman Empire. It is said that all imperial forums were attempts to outdo the Theatre of Pompey, which held the largest central gathering space in the city for centuries.
During the early 20Th century, Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini decide the revamp the Imperial Fora as part of his campaign to hark back to the great days of Roman and Italian history.
