In the battle of Philippi in 42 BC, in which Augustus and Mark Antony worked together and avenged Caesar's death, Augustus vowed to build a temple dedicated to Mars Ultor. The incomplete forum was inaugurated, after 40 years of construction, in 2 BC, adding the second monumental square, the Forum of Augustus. This new complex lies at right angles to the Forum of Caesar. The temple consists of a very tall wall, and this still distinguishes itself from the popular neighbourhood of Suburra. The rectangular square has long deep porticos with a ...

Domitian decided to unify the previous complex and the free remaining irregular area, between the Temple of Peace and the Forums of Caesar and Augustus, and build another monumental forum which connected all of the other forums. The limited space, partially occupied by one of the exedras of the Forum of Augustus and by the via dell'Argiletto, obliged Vespasian to build the lateral porticos as simply decorations of the bounding walls of the forum. The temple, dedicated to Minerva as protector of the emperor, was built leaning on ...

The (probably) original title was Ab excessu divi Augusti, "Following the death of the divine Augustus". Annals Tacitus - ...
