LARGO DI TORRE ARGENTINA (ROMA, ITALY)
LARGO DI TORRE ARGENTINA, Roma, Lazio, Italia. E' una piazza di Roma situata nell'antica zona di Campo Marzio, che ospita quattro templi romani risalenti all'età della Repubblica. Il complesso archeologico noto come area sacra al centro della piazza venne scoperto durante dei lavori edilizi del 1926 e scavato fino al 1928, con più riprese fino almeno agli anni '70. Nella zona sono stati ritrovati i resti di quattro templi, che rappresentano il complesso più importante di edifici sacri d'età repubblicana media e tarda. La storia del complesso è molto complicata con più strati sovrapposti, per i quali sono però state riconosciute la fasi principali tutte databili con relativa esattezza. La zona è stata identificata grazie alla presenza del porticus Minucia vetus edificato nel 106 a.C. da Marco Minucio Rufo per il trionfo sugli Scordisci. Il porticus è riconoscibile nei colonnati sul lato nord e est della piazza, che non vennero mai rifatti in epoca imperiale. Il suo pavimento in tufo è posteriore ai templi A, C e D, ma anteriore al tempio B, per cui da questa data è stato possibile ricostruire le vicende della zona. I resti dei quattro templi sono designati con le lettere A, B, C e D (da quello più a nord a quello più a sud) in quanto non è determinato con certezza a chi fossero dedicati, e sorgono davanti ad una strada pavimentata, ricostruita in epoca imperiale dopo l'incendio dell'80, poco dopo l'ampliamento anche del Porticus Minucia (Frumentaria), che arrivò a inglobare tutta l'area.

Hi, mom and dad! Here are some highlights of our trip to Rome, Italy. We were there in March 2019, and this was my first trip with a GoPro HERO7 Black.
LARGO DI TORRE ARGENTINA, ROMA, ITALIA
Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, Italy, with four Roman Republican temples and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is in the ancient Campus Martius.
The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, which takes its name from the city of Strasbourg whose Latin name was Argentoratum. In 1503, the Papal Master of Ceremonies Johannes Burckardt, who came from Strasbourg and was known as Argentinus, built in via del Sudario a palace (now at number 44), called Casa del Burcardo, to which the tower is annexed.
The other tower in the square is the medieval Torre del Papito (Little Pope's Tower), attributed by tradition to Antipope Anacletus II Pierleoni, allegedly not a tall person.
After Italian unification, it was decided to reconstruct part of Rome (1909), demolishing the zone of Torre Argentina. However, during the demolition work in 1927, the colossal head and arms of a marble statue were discovered. The archeological investigation brought to light the presence of a holy area, dating to the Republican era, with four temples and part of Pompey's Theatre.
Julius Caesar was killed in the Curia of the Theatre of Pompey, and the spot where he is believed to have been assassinated is in the square.
The Mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, announced in February 2019 that by late 2021 the site will be installed with walkways and the general public will be able to tour the ruins for the first time.

Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, Italy, with four Roman Republican temples and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is in the ancient Campus Martius.[1]

In 1503, the Papal Master of Ceremonies Johannes Burckardt, who came from Strasbourg and was known as Argentinus, built in via del Sudario a palace (now at number 44), called Casa del Burcardo, to which the tower is annexed.

However, during the demolition work in 1927, the colossal head and arms of a marble statue were discovered. The archeological investigation brought to light the presence of a holy area, dating to the Republican era, with four temples and part of Pompey's Theatre.
Julius Caesar was killed in the Curia of the Theatre of Pompey, and the spot where he is believed to have been assassinated is in the square.[2]
The Mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, announced in February 2019 that by late 2021 the site will be installed with walkways and the general public will be able to tour the ruins for the first time.[3]
The four temples, originally designated by the letters A, B, C, and D, front onto a paved street, which was reconstructed in the imperial era, after the fire of AD 80. The area was delineated to the North by the Hecatostylum (one-hundred columns porch) and the Baths of Agrippa, and to the South by the buildings related to the Circus Flaminius, to the East by the great porched square of Porticus Minucia Frumentaria, and to the West by the Theatre of Pompey.[4][5]
Temple A was built in the 3rd century BC, and is probably the Temple of Juturna built by Gaius Lutatius Catulus after his victory against the Carthaginians in 241 BC.[6] It was later rebuilt as a church, the apse of which is still present.
Temple B, a circular temple (tholos) with six columns remaining, was built by Quintus Lutatius Catulus in 101 BC in fulfillment of his vow at the Battle of Vercellae.[7] The temple (aedes) was devoted to Fortuna Huiusce Diei, the Fortune of This Day. The colossal statue found during excavations and now kept in the Centrale Montemartini of the Capitoline Museums was the statue of the goddess herself. Only the head, the arms, and the legs were made of marble: the other parts, covered by the dress, were of other materials, probably a wooden frame. This is known as an acrolithic statue.

Temple C is the most ancient of the four, dating back to 4th or 3rd century BC, and was probably devoted to Feronia the ancient Italic goddess of fertility. After the fire of A.D. 80, this temple was restored, and the white and black mosaic of the inner temple cella dates back to this restoration.
Temple D is the largest of the four, dates back to the 2nd century BC with Late Republican restorations, and was devoted to Lares Permarini (Lares who protect sailors), but only a small part of it has been excavated (a street covers the most of it). It was vowed by the praetor, Lucius Aemilius Regillus, while engaged in a naval battle with the fleet of Antiochus the Great in 190 B.C., and dedicated by M. Aemilius Lepidus, when censor, on 22 December, 179.[8] On the doors of the temple was a dedicatory inscription in Saturnian metre.[9] It is recorded as standing in porticu Minucia[10] and therefore its exact site depends on that of the porticus.[11][12]
The Teatro Argentina is an 18th-century opera house and theatre located in the square. The premieres of many notable operas took place there. They include Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville in 1816[13] and Giuseppe Verdi's I due Foscari in 1844[14] and La battaglia di Legnano in 1849.[15]

Death Site of Julius Caesar - Largo di Torre Argentina (Rome, Italy)
Amongst all the hustle and bustle of ancient architecture and tourism, a large shadow was cast against the death site of Julius Caesar... We almost stumbled across it accidentally!
Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, Italy, that hosts four Republican Roman temples, and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is located in the ancient Campus Martius.[1]
The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, which takes its name from the city of Strasbourg, whose Latin name was Argentoratum. In 1503, the Papal Master of Ceremonies Johannes Burckardt, who came from Strasbourg and was known as Argentinus, built in via del Sudario a palace (now at number 44), called Casa del Burcardo, to which the tower is annexed.

Largo Di Torre Argentina | Rome 2019
Team Periwinkle: Meghan Bevan, Matthew Choy, Melissa Joya
On March 13th, 2019, we visited this site which includes the remains of four Roman temples, and the Theatre of Pompey where several Roman senators assassinated Julius Caesar. The square surrounds an excavation of ancient Roman ruins, where the ground level is about 20 feet below the modern street. Railings along the sidewalk allow visitors to stop and admire the ruins from above giving it a zoo exhibit vibe. Through the vegetation overtaking the ruins, one can spot several cats roaming and sunbathing around, indifferent towards the historic events that have taken place in their modern-day litter box.
