So much of our history took place in this area. Pompey was at one time married to Julius Caesar's daughter Julia, and Caesar was assassinated in the Curia of his former son-in-law's massive theater complex(in 44BC, the senate was meeting here temporarily while the Curia Julia in the forum was being rebuilt). Its ruins would still have been visible in the 13th century and it probably appeared somewhat like today's Theater of Marcellus(only much larger), but by then its stone was being increasingly 'robbed' away and was being converted to a medieval fortress by the Orsini family. With all the flooding and silt deposition of the Tiber over the millennia, I'm willing to bet that a good portion of its ruins still exist below ground. What I'd give to have free access to explore the cellars of those medieval buildings around the cavea! Thank's again for giving us a little tour of this magnificent city!
I suspect most of ancient Rome(including streets, shops, insulae and temples etc.) is still there, buried beneath the 'modern' city. The problem is, aside from the digging of new Metro lines, opportunities to excavate it are few and far between.@@RomanoImperoTv
I've been to Camp de Fiori so many times and have never explored this section. Thank you so much for showing this area. I was totally fascinated!!! I always look forward to your videos. I learn so much!!!! Mille Grazie Romano Impero!!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Salve Romano Impero! We watched this video two more times because we are intrigued by the Pompey Teatro. We definitely have to visit this very charming section of Rome. We would also like to visit Santi Biagio e Carlo ai Catinari. They have a fascinating history. Once again, Mille Grazie for all your hard work and unique videos.
Interesting video... But looking at the blight of graffiti that defaced the sides of these historic buildings, Rome has the blight of gangbangers too, just as the US has along with most countries.
I can't imagine what those two powerful men, Caesar and Pompey, could have gone onto achieve if Pompey had agreed to some of the negotiations that were proposed in the senate in order to prevent a civil war. Caesar actually DID agree to it if Pompey was also willing. I personally believe that Pompey betrayed Julius Caesar. The fact that his wife (Caesar's daughter) died whilst her father was campaigning in gaul and Britain may well have given cause for serious suspicion. She was already seriously ill and caesar was aware of it before he left for gaul. Perhaps Pompey was already plotting to end his association with Caesar by Julia's death? Caesar believed he would potentially be assassinated if he surrendered his armies once he returned to Rome hence the reason why he chose war instead.
I think a prolonged peace between the two would not have held up anyway. There is a proverb in Italy that goes: Two roosters in a henhouse are not good 😉
@@RomanoImperoTv Perhaps you are right? They were like two gladiators who fought to the death. The truth is , I think there were a number of powerful men at that time who were vying for control, almost manipulating things behind the scenes. For all Cicero's supposed wisdom, he ended up being assassinated. It's a fascinating period of time in history kind of filled with 'what ifs' had these men possessed any unified loyalty towards each other instead of the horrendous bitterness, jealousy and rivelry.
Après m'être davantage documenté, j'ai enfin compris la façon dont s'organisait ce quartier du théâtre de Marcellus. Également, cet incroyable tempie à Vénus Victrix, tout là-haut perché. Rome est une ville dont l'histoire principalement antique, me passionne véritablement. Et plus mes connaissances s'enrichissent plus mon envie de fouiller encore s'accroît. Un peu à la manière d'un archéologue mais virtuel. Cet endroit, que vous nous faites découvrir, est aussi et surtout le lieu où César à trouvé la mort le 15 mars 44. J'ai également appris que tout les ans, les romains rejouaient cette scène, cette tragédie, sur le largo di torre argentino... Hâte de vous retrouver !...
Hehe très vrai, 😊 plus vous découvrez l'histoire stratifiée des siècles de Rome, plus vous tombez amoureux de cette ville. Il a vraiment beaucoup à dire dans tous les coins, surtout si vous remarquez les indices qu'il montre souvent presque modestement. 🙂💖
Were those original columns In Situ (perhaps part of the scaenae frons) ? Or were they take as spolia and repositioned? Also, is some of the structure of the Temple of Venus still In Situ?
The columns have been repositioned. Some remains of the Temple of Venus (such as the columns) have been reused in the structure. The centuries have led to endless changes and reuses, but under the buildings you can still find parts of the wall of the ancient theater, as well as original columns.
Love this neighbourhood, we always stay at Hotel Smeraldo in via dei Chiavari with Roscioli as nearest neighbour when in Rome. A nightly stroll after dinner in Trastevere towards the hotel on a warm september night is bliss. Thanks!
C'est une Rome particulièrement authentique que vous nous présentez dans cette vidéo. J'aime beaucoup toutes ces petites placettes qui se succèdent. Et tout ces cafés et trattorie qui s'y trouvent. Ça doit être agréable de s'y restaurer et de prendre quelque repos. Je trouve vraiment très belles les vieilles façades de couleur ocre rouge. Pour moi, plus c'est vieux, abîmé, pourri par l'humidité et cela malgré les graffitis ( chaque époque a les siens), plus j'aime 😄...
@@RomanoImperoTv comunque molto ma molto di meno di 10 anni ad oggi.poca roba e poi in zone precise.Nel centro io non ne vedo apparte firme anzi adesso il comune appalta murale giganti in periferia. Buono.Ho visto che molte strade durante il lockdown sono state rifatte per le buche.com'è la situazione? Grazie

Underground Rome still has a lot to show, despite the havoc that took place in past centuries. You are welcome. 😉

Those never fail, greetings. 👍👍
Waoooo uffff Roma la bellaaaa pronto en esas calles....

Qué scoperta! Muchas gracias. Al lado de los lugares más visitados y, sin embargo, escondido. Eso le da mucho más encanto. Felicitaciones!!!
Roma espera ser descubierta, callejón tras callejón. Gracias y bienvenido! 🙂👋

Love this area of Rome, thanks for the nice video!
Thanks to you. 👍
I keep looking for cool Italian cars in your videos, lol. Can't wait to see Rome a 4 weeks! Can you suggest any restaurants?
"Sora Lella" on the Tiber island. Excellent Roman cuisine. 😉👌
@@RomanoImperoTv awesome thanks!
The whole city is disfigured by graffiti.
It really depends on the area, but in general, yes, it's a bad habit.
@@RomanoImperoTv Roman's have been writing graffiti on the sides of their buildings for over 2000 years. Old habits die hard!
Eheh this is also true 😄

Le buche sono diminuite ma il problema immondizia è sempre presente.
