<b>The Forum of Augustus and its instructive character: the history of Rome recreated in stone
Abstract
This article discusses the instructive character present in the Forum of Augustus, one of the principal constructions undertaken by the Princeps Octavius Augustus at the end of the first century BC. From the studies about archaeological remains and written sources, we aim to analyze the main characteristics and particularities of this Forum and to what extent it constituted a place of memory, aiding in the perpetuation of a history of Rome recreated by Augustus and his support group, in which the Princeps stood out as the legitimate continuator of this history and the greatest example to be emulated; in such a way that the Forum of Augustus provided a true lesson in Roman history, materializing in stone this glorious past, of which Augustus was placed as a descendant and continuator.
