Ancient Roman Temple Where Julius Caesar was Assassinated Opens in Rome

The square contains the remains of the Curia of Pompey, a central meeting place for senators where Caesar was stabbed to death on the Ides of March.

An ancient square where historians believe Julius Caesar was stabbed to death — one of the most infamous assassinations in history — was opened to the public for the first time Tuesday.

The Sacred Area of ​​Largo Argentina, containing the remains of four ancient temples in a bustling part of downtown Rome, can now be seen up close via a lowered walkway for 5 euros ($5.50).

The site also contains the remains of the Curia of Pompey, a central meeting place for senators where it is believed Caesar was stabbed to death on March 15 (the Ides of March) in 44 B.C.

Successive generations had built on the site since ancient times, and it was only rediscovered when buildings were demolished in 1926. Three years later, another dictator, Mussolini, inaugurated it as an important historical site.

Two new exhibition areas also document the many archaeological finds at the site over the ages. The works were funded by the fashion house Bulgari and managed by the Capitoline Superintendency for Cultural Heritage.

The site could previously only be seen from street level and had become overgrown with weeds. Tourists’ photos posted online show the area being enjoyed by stray cats — there is cat sanctuary on a corner of the square.

“One of the most beautiful and precious places in Rome is finally fully usable by Roman citizens and tourists, who from now on will be able to see from nearby wonderful archaeological finds from various periods of the history of our city,” Miguel Gotor, councilor for culture for the city of Rome, said in a news release.

The first recorded structure of importance on the site dates to the early third century with the construction of what is referred to as Temple C, probably dedicated to the Roman goddess Feronia.

Fires in 111 B.C. and A.D. 80 destroyed much of the earliest buildings, with those remains buried under a new floor built by the emperor Domitian in the first century.

Caesar's death has endured in Western culture as one of the most seismic political events in history, even as its details and wider implications continue to be debated.

In Shakespeare’s dramatic retelling, the dying dictator last words were “Et tu, Brute?” after he saw that his old friend Marcus Brutus, one of the murder conspiracy’s main ringleaders, was among his killers.

What is agreed upon is that Brutus and a group of Roman senators had grown concerned over the size of Caesar's power and influence and his undermining of the Republic.

However, Caesar's killing unleashed a period of reprisal and civil war that killed thousands and effectively killed the Republic. His named successor, his adopted 18-year-old son, Octavian, became what is regarded as Rome's first emperor in 27 B.C., known by then as Augustus.

Such is Italy's vast wealth of archaeological treasures that many important sites have yet to be excavated and thousands of found items have never been put on public display.

Historians' understanding of ancient Rome is still evolving as more items are found. In April a new study shed light on the use of Roman wineries in theatrical ceremonies, while in May archaeologists revealed how people were killed in an earthquake triggered by the immense eruption at Vesuvius in A.D. 79.

This is my first Ide of March on Tumblr, and I'm still learning the culture and customs of this website, so I'm not going to do anything too extravagant. I hope that's okay; I know this holiday means a lot to many people here, and I want you to know that my relatively milquetoast remarks do not show a lack of enthusiasm, but simply a certain timidity as I enter this community. Anyway, here I go:

I would like to stab Julius Caesar until he has died.

Thank you, and I wish you all a lovely March 15.

reading shakespeare's julius caesar and they discuss whether or not to also kill antony since he's caesar's right hand man (but decide against it as brutus says how an arm cannot function without a head anyway). and perhaps this is a reference/nod to plutarch's account (shakespeare heavily used plutarch's writing for the play) where during the actual assassination, cassius accidentally stabs brutus in the hand (if antony was his right hand, brutus was his left)

Ooohh yeah, the Ides of March, the March with the Ides

The Senate said “I am the Senate” and just Senate’d all over the place

“E tu Brute” meets “bro what if we held hands and kissed while stabbing Caesar in the middle of the Senate?”

The event kickstarted by Aya

Hey guys, I’d just like to thank everyone who attended the Ides of March and to everyone who either contributed to or came to the potluck afterwards. Special thanks to my sibling who brought the spinach dip, @meat-arcade for the ranch dressing, and to Brutus for letting me have a go at Caesar even though I brought a grapefruit spoon which was then used to serve the trifle I brought (don’t worry, we thoroughly washed it and sanitized the spoon before it went in the trifle) ❤️
