"The Forum of Augustus: A Timeless Beauty Illuminated by the Blue Light of Dusk" As the sun sets over Rome, casting a mesmerizing blue light on the ancient Imperial Forum, one cannot help but be captivated by its timeless beauty. Amongst these historic ruins stands the Tempio di Marte Ultore, although it may not resemble the round temple depicted here. The Temple of Mars Ultor holds a significant place in history and is well-documented. At dawn, from the vantage point of Campidoglio, one can witness a breathtaking view of the Fori Imperiali's remains. The grandeur and magnificence that once graced this site are still palpable even in its dilapidated state, and is as if time itself has stood still to preserve this remarkable piece of history. In an enchanting color engraving, we catch a glimpse of the Temple of Mars Ultor in all its glory during Rome's heyday. This architectural marvel was built in the 1st century and served as a symbol of power and conquest for Emperor Augustus. The Veduta degli avanzi del Foro di Nerva showcases an arcade and wall that have withstood centuries' worth of wear and tear. These remnants serve as testaments to Rome's rich heritage and have earned their rightful place as part of UNESCO World Heritage Site - Latium. Plate 15 takes us back to ca. 1748 when artists sought to immortalize the splendorous Forum of Augustus through their intricate engravings. Their meticulous attention to detail allows us to envision how this forum must have appeared during its prime. James Holland's depiction from 1840-45 transports us into another era entirely – one where visitors could admire firsthand what remains today only in fragments. His artwork serves as both documentation and celebration for future generations who seek to understand Rome's glorious past. The ruins speak volumes about the Forum of Augustus, a testament to its historical significance.
