The Journey
Noble Residences (near assassination site)
Imagine yourself amidst the opulent homes of Roman nobility, where Julius Caesar spent his last evening, dining with friends just hours before his assassination. While the exact location remains a historical mystery, this area offers a glimpse into the privileged lives of Rome's elite and the treacherous political climate that led to Caesar's demise. Feel the weight of history as you consider the conversations and intrigues that filled the air on that fateful night.
Caesar's Route: Domus Publica to Largo Argentina
Follow in the footsteps of Julius Caesar on his final journey, beginning at the Domus Publica in the Roman Forum, his official residence as Pontifex Maximus. Retrace his path to Largo Argentina, the site of his assassination. As you walk, visualize the bustling city of Rome, the political tensions simmering beneath the surface, and the impending doom that awaited Caesar. Experience the drama of the Ides of March and connect with one of history's most pivotal moments.
Temple of Caesar
Stand before the Temple of Caesar, a testament to the deification of Julius Caesar following his assassination. Erected on the spot where his body was cremated, this temple became a focal point for his cult and a symbol of his enduring legacy. Observe the remnants of the altar and imagine the fervent rituals performed in his honor. Reflect on the transformation of a man into a god and the profound impact he had on Roman society.
Senate House (Curia Julia)
Explore the site of the Senate House, originally under restoration during the Ides of March. Understand how the Senate convened temporarily at the Theatre of Pompey. While the Curia Julia, rebuilt by Caesar's successors, stands as a symbol of Roman power, consider the fateful events that led the senators to seek an alternative meeting place, setting the stage for Caesar's assassination.
Caesar's Forum
Wander through the Caesar's Forum, the first of the Imperial Forums, built to alleviate congestion in the Roman Forum and to celebrate the achievements of Julius Caesar. Admire the Temple of Venus Genetrix, Caesar's patron goddess, and envision the grand scale of this public space, designed to showcase his power and influence. Experience the ambition and vision of Caesar as you explore this impressive architectural complex.
Pompey's Theatre & Assassination Site
Discover the sacred area surrounding Pompey's Theatre, home to four Republican-era temples. More significantly, this was the temporary meeting place for the Senate during the Ides of March, due to renovations at the Curia Julia. Your guide will lead you to the location where Julius Caesar was allegedly assassinated. Visualize the scene, the chaos, and the betrayal that unfolded within these ancient walls, forever changing the course of Roman history. Feel the echoes of this dramatic event as you stand on this hallowed ground.
