Ruin temple site where Caesar was stabbed. Almost completely gone, mostly just a base remains and an alcove for laying wreaths.
The site where Caesar was cremated, and ruins of his temple which Augustus used to bolster his own political aspirations. After Antony’s stirring eulogy, the crowd frenzied in grief and the funeral pyre was set ablaze. Mourners cried in grief, throwing their clothes, jewelry, chairs, and anything else they could fit into the fire, keeping it ablaze for several days. The massive pyre grew so out of control at one point that it even threatened to burn down the entire Forum.
Today, passers-by leave flowers and coins in memory of the man. I left a single dandelion - the common food for any ancient Roman soldier.

Temple dedicated to Julius Caesar..its very easy to miss it, if you don't have a professional tour guide...
Always wanted to visit this place since Caesar is one of my favorite characters in history.
A few weeks ago, we visited amazing Rome, se did and matchless Roman Forum and this Temple of Caesar in Rome. It’s an ancient building in the Roman Forum, built on the spot where Julius Caesar was actually cremated after his death in 44 BC. The temple was completed by his adopted son, Octavian, and then dedicated to him on 18 August 29 BC. Even though it’s just a ruin now, it’s still a special place of course. You clearly feel this when you visit the spot. People go there to remember Caesar and leave flowers. It was interesting to see how much respect people still have for him, even after all these years. But I think that all the same, he was an emperor and did a lot of injustice and cruelty, and many people died because of him. And I always think that no one has any right to sacrifice at least one innocent life for the sake of any, even supposedly the greatest ever plan. So we didn't bring flowers.
The temple, dedicated to Julius Caesar as a divine figure, allowed Augustus to legitimize his own power by associating himself with the revered Caesar.
The construction and promotion of the temple helped to solidify Augustus' position as the emperor of Rome and reinforced the concept of imperial cults, where rulers were worshipped as gods.

Sie stehen wohlgemerkt in den Trümmern eines Weltreiches. Wie viel von der Pracht Roms zugänglich ist, wird in beeindruckender Weise und für wenig Geld Ihnen zwischen Kollusseum und dem Emanuel-Denkmal Ihnen zugänglich gemacht - das sollten Sie sich nicht entgehen lassen und sich auch Zeit dafür nehmen. Der Tempel des Divus Iulius ist ein Beispiel für den komplexen Götterkult der Römer: Der Divus Iulius ist nach der Ermordung Cäsars zur Gottheit erhoben worden - dieser Tempel ist also ein Zeugnis der Zeit Cäsaers bzw. des augustus, seinem Erben. Dieser Tempel ist mitunter am besten erhalten. Überhaupt wird die Geschichte im gesamten Forum Romanum auch gut erklärt und die einzelnen Gebäude virtuell auch gezeigt. Sie können durch viele der Ruinen laufen, darunter Tempel und Plätze des antiken Rom. Sie haben bei alle dem, was Sie entdecken können auch einige Höhenmeter zu überwinden, die zeigen, wie viel tiefer das antike Rom einst lag. Der Vorteil (siehe Fotos): Sie haben z. T. fantastische Ausblicke über das Forum, wo sich verschiedene römische Kaiser verewigten und Tem pel errichtet worden sind. Lassen sie sich das auch virtuell zeigen, welche Gebäude wo standen. Nehmen sie sich alleine dafür Zeit und einen nicht zu heißen Tag, denn Schatten ist hier seltenes Gut. Kombiticket mit dem Kollusseum ist zu empfehlen.
Interessanter, leider nicht sehr gut erhaltener Teil des Forum. Der Tempel liegt an der südöstlichen Schmalseite des Forum Romanum an der Stelle, an der die Leiche des ermordeten Caesar verbrannt wurde. Auf dem heute noch sichtbaren Altar werden immer noch Blumen von Verehrern Cäsars niedergelegt. Irgendwie beeindruckend und ehrwürdig diese Stelle.
The temple of Divo Giulio (aedes Divi Iulii) is a temple dedicated to Gaius Julius Caesar, deified after his death, located in Rome in the Roman Forum.
there is a small circular element in concrete, identifiable as an altar: it is probably the reconstruction by Octavian, perhaps in the years 37-34 BC, of the altar erected after the death of Caesar in 44 BC, on the site of the cremation of the body.

42 BC - According to (Apian), Caesar's body was transported in an ivory litter and placed in (Rostra) in a golden sanctuary based on the Temple of Venus Generatrix, the goddess from whom the Julius family claimed to descend. Mark Antony delivered his famous speech and Caesar's will was read to the public as a mechanical mechanism, positioned above the site, showed a wax image of Caesar, rotating it so that everyone could clearly see the 23 wounds he suffered from. all over body and face. Spurred on by speech, will, and wax image, the crowd tried to take the body to the Capitoline to be buried among the Roman gods.
After a violent discussion about the funeral pyre and the fate of Caesar's ashes, the Roman people, Caesar's allies, and his family decided to build the pyre right there.

Absolutely great place to visit. Such a big part of history as we know it. Would recommend adding this to your sites to see if you are in the area. Photos on my review are just of the Roman Forum
