Imperial Fora
Successive extensions of the republican Roman Forum in the imperial period, with the same functions, although in larger spaces enriched with decorations, for the purpose of public utility and propaganda of the emperors
In 2007 this interesting museum of Roman architecture was opened in the ancient halls of Trajan's Market. The exhibit emphasizes the ancient volumes and functionality of the buildings of the Imperial Fora
