Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area. This is where the Senate-as well as Republican government itself-began. Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.įor centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches and the nucleus of commercial affairs. The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum ( Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum ( plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. it /en /area /the-roman-forum /Īncient Roman architecture, Paleochristian architecture Largely neglected from the 8th century AD onward The integration of terminology into foreign language courses for private companies and public institutions also plays an important role in the FOKUS project. The project has two main aims that will be described in the poster: 1) foreign language teaching and 2) the development of in-house term bases and a regional, multilingual term and knowledge bank. The poster illustrates how a regional term bank for the Danish-German border region could be established, and how this term bank will contribute to the establishment of a national Danish term bank.ĪB - The FOKUS project is carried out at the Department of Design and Communication at the University of Southern Denmark.
