フォルム
Imperial fora
皇帝たちのフォルム は、ローマ帝国時代のローマ中心部の地区の呼び名で、紀元前46年から113年までの1世紀半の期間に、歴代の皇帝たちが公共広場フォルムを造った地区のことである。それまで国の中心であったフォルム・ロマヌムが手狭になったため、北側に隣接した土地に新たな政治・経済・宗教の中心施設を造ることを目的に、ガイウス・ユリウス・カエサルが計画し、建設を始めた。
Imperial Fora
The Imperial Fora are the remains of a chain of grand public squares that successive emperors built alongside the older Roman Forum, once they ran out of room to expand it. Walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali, you look down onto excavated columns, paved streets, temple foundations and market structures spanning roughly a century and a half of construction, including the forum built by Trajan. It's a way to grasp the scale of imperial Rome's civic and political life without paying for a ticketed site, since much of it is visible from street level.
Getting there
The site runs through the heart of central Rome, an easy walk from Piazza Venezia or the Colosseum — about 10-15 minutes on foot from either. It's also reachable by bus along Via dei Fori Imperiali, or by Metro Line B to Colosseo, followed by a short walk.
Time to allow
Viewing the fora from the street and surrounding walkways takes around 30-45 minutes. If you also enter Trajan's Forum or the adjoining museum area, plan for an hour or more.
When to go
Early morning or later in the afternoon avoids both the midday heat and the heaviest foot traffic, since this stretch is a main thoroughfare between the Colosseum and central Rome and gets busy throughout the day. Shade is limited, so summer visits are more comfortable outside peak sun hours.
What to combine it with
Trajan's Forum and Trajan's Column sit right alongside, both within 0.2km, making them a natural extension of the same walk. The Arch of Septimius Severus at the edge of the Roman Forum is also about 0.2km away, and the Altare della Patria monument is a similarly short walk at the Piazza Venezia end.
