Overview
The Forum Romanum was the political heart of Rome: a place of speeches, trials, elections, funerals, business, and violence. In Livarva’s account, it becomes the visible stage on which republican dignity decays into fear.
Importance
Heads on the rostra, crowds in agitation, and orators attempting to command events all show how the Forum reflected Rome’s political health.
This first atlas entry is drafted from the Livarva manuscripts and will be expanded with exact chapter and source references in a later version.
