The Caesar’s Forum Project, initiated in 2017 and funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and Aarhus University Research Foundation, aims at uncovering a chronological span of more than 3000 years at the Caesar’s Forum area. The first phase of the archaeological investigations unearthed structures in the archaeologically under-researched Alessandrino Quarter, which was demolished in order to make way for Mussolini’s Via dell’Impero. In a new article in Archäologischer Anzeiger, the first detailed overview of the second part of the first large phase conducted in 2021 of the Danish-Italian excavation on Caesar’s Forum is presented together with new archaeological insights.
