Il Foro di Augusto fu votato subito dopo l\u2019uccisione di Giulio Cesare, nel 42 a.C., alla vigilia della battaglia di Filippi, che consent\u00ec a Ottavio, poi divenuto Augusto, di sconfiggere Bruto e Cassio, i due Cesaricidi. Il tempio fu dedicato a Marte Ultore cio\u00e8 Marte il vendicatore, il dio della guerra e della forza che aveva permesso di riconquistare la pace. Il lavoro di Paco Lanciano e Piero Angela, di ricostruzione virtuale e visiva dell\u2019elevato di questo foro e di tutto l\u2019apparato decorativo, permette di avere una visione di come vivevano gli antichi all\u2019interno di uno spazio pubblico di questo genere.\n

THE PROJECT<\/h3><\/p>\n

While spacing on various aspects of the Roman world, the story is still anchored to the site of Augustus, creatively using the remains of the Forum to try to let the stones \u201cspeak\u201d for themselves. Besides the faithful reconstruction of the area, with special effects of all kinds, the story focuses on the figure of Augustus, whose giant statue, over 12 meters high, dominated the area next to the temple.
\nA new period of Roman history started under Augustus: as a matter of fact the imperial age was one of great achievement, within a century Rome ruled over an empire which extended from current England to the borders of the modern Iraq, including most of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. These achievements led to the expansion not only of the empire, but also of culture, technologies, legal rules, art. Traces of that past are still visible in all parts of the Empire, with amphitheaters, baths, libraries, temples, roads.
\nBesides, after Augustus many other emperors left their mark in the Imperial Fora building their own Forum.
\nRome at that time had more than one million inhabitants: no city in the world had ever had a population of those proportions; only London in the XIX century reached that size. It was the great metropolis of antiquity: the capital of economics, law, power and entertainment.<\/p>\n
