The excavation of the Via Alessandrina, along the Via dei Fori Imperiali, continues. We can look together at some stunning results in April 2026 as the dig has arrived at the pavement level of the Forum of Augustus. It's an exciting moment, and Darius walks you through the newly revealed monuments.

Augustus built the Temple of Mars Ultor (vowed 42 BC, finished 2 BC) in his new forum, a marble masterpiece showcasing Rome’s elite and his own legacy.

The Forum of Augustus—isn’t that where they play the Masters Tournament every April?

I’m currently archaeologically researching it, watching all the Masters since 1960 on YouTube.

I’ll go back now to my research. Carry on!

My pleasure! I used two of his channels for the related nature, and I think he’s got at least one more. Dream job, he gets to live in Italy and work in his degree in a different way.
