Information about Rome (Capital city of Italy) :
The Forum witnessed political turbulence in the Republic in the first century BC. Cicero's orations against the antics of corrupt young aristocrats echoed off the temple walls and Julius Caesar's dead body was cremated, amid rioting crowds, in the small temple that bears his name. Augustus, Caesar's great-nephew and adopted son, exploited the Forum to support his new government, closing off the old town square with a temple to the newly deified Caesar and building a triumphal arch honoring himself. His successors followed suit, clotting the old markets with successively grander tokens of their majesty (often looted from the monuments of their predecessors). The construction of the imperial palace on the Palatine in the first century AD, and of new fora on higher ground to the north, cleared out the old neighborhoods around the square. By the 2nd century, the Forum, though packed with gleaming white monuments, had become a deserted ceremonial space. Barbarian invaders of the 5th century burned and looted the Forum, and Constantine's Christian city government had the pagan temples closed.
In the Middle Ages, many buildings were converted to churches and alms houses; marble was stolen and the Forum gradually became Campo Vaccino, a cow pasture, with only the tallest columns peeking through the tall grass. The last bits of the Forum's accessible marble were quarried by Renaissance popes for their own monumental constructions. Excavations since 1803 have uncovered a vast array of remnants, but also rendered the site extremely confusing - the ruins of structures built over and on top of each other for more than a thousand years are now exposed to a single view.
