Introduction

The Ancient Roman ruins, also known as the Ancient Roman Square, Ancient Roman Market, or Ancient Roman Ruins, are located between the Palatine Hill and the Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. They form the center of the Ancient Roman city, including many old and important buildings. Caesar spent a huge sum of money to build a square, which was completed and put into use in 46 BC, but it was not until the Augustan period that it was completed. The Temple of Mars Ultor is one of the tallest buildings standing in the Subla Plebeian district. Augustus added a memorial square, which became a right angle with Caesar's square and was officially put into use in 2 BC. Tiberius decided to connect all the squares in the area, and after his death, his successor Nero named it the Nero Square or Transform Square. The building complex in the square includes the Triumphal Arch of Titus, the Temples of Antoninus and Faustina, the Senate, the Sacred Road, and the Hall of Marcus Aurelius and Constantine, making it an important cultural heritage of Rome.
