I was blessed to be able to finally see Rome a few years ago and was amazed to see that the Roman Senate building is still standing.
I was miffed that the tour group traipsed right past such a historic place without so much as a peak inside.
Thought about lagging behind to get a look, but didn't want to get separated from the group.
The tour was like being in the Foreign Legion.... "March or Die!"
The existing Senate building in the forum only dates from the 1930's or so. Over the history of Rome, the original Curia has been destroyed and re-built many times.
When Julius Caesar was assassinated, the Senate was meeting in the Theater of Pompey, north of the Capitoline hill on the Field of Mars (Campus Martius).
There’s also a spot in Rome where people still lay flowers, it’s the place where Julius Caesar was cremated, a place of a huge gathering of people with an enormous outpouring of grief back at the time.
