The Imperial Forums of Rome
Imperial propaganda in brick and marble
Emperor after emperor vied with his predecessors to leave a mark on the public buildings of the city of Rome. Nowhere was this more the case than with the Imperial Forums - places for business and for the administration of the state; for the pepper and spice market and the magistrates' courts alike.
Our audio tour will show you how each forum marked out its own architectural space and style - and how plans became ever more ambitious. Trajan not only built a forum - he built new covered markets, a classical shopping mall so to speak, a library and a mausoleum for himself.
