Our picnic spot. Sitting in front of the Temple of Divus Iulius. After Caesar was assasinated, his body was carried to the Forum and burned on a pyre. An altar was built on the spot and then a temple. Augustus, Caesars adopted son, had his father honored as if he were a god by dedicating this temple to him. People still leave flowers on what remains of the temple. |
