Rome ruins opened up

A COMPLEX of ancient temples in Rome that are linked to the scene of Julius Caesar’s murder will be opened to the public.

The below-street-level temple ruins at Largo Argentina in downtown Rome are visible to pedestrians peering from above but closed to visitors.

But Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi announced this week that by late 2021, walkways will be built inside the site so tourists can stroll through the ruins. The ruins include a stone pedestal from the Curia of Pompey, the meeting place of senators, where Caesar was slain in 44 BC.
