Note
This site is the Largo di Torre Argentina, an ancient public square and archaeological location at the historic center of Rome, Italy. The preserved ruins are of four distinct Roman Republican temples dating from the 4th to the 1st century BCE. Located within this complex are the foundations of the Curia of Pompey, a specific senate meeting hall known as the location where Julian Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March by conspiring senators. The site sits below modern street level which means that a large portion of it can be overlooked from nearby.
