Nerva: Imperial Forum
built 606 days ago
The excavation of the Forum of Nerva was the first archeological intervention in the central city that began after the war and continued on until today. The excavation finished a few months ago after obtaining evident results of scientific importance and of enormous interest to the public who were able to visit the site on guided tours organized by the Superintendent during the summer months.

Because he reigned only briefly, Nerva's public works were few. By early 98 he dedicated the forum that Domitian had built to connect the Forum of Augustus with the Forum of Peace. It became known as the Forum of Nerva, or the Forum Transitorium. Nerva ... built granaries, made repairs to the Colosseum when the Tiber flooded, and continued the program of road building and repairs inaugurated under the Flavians.[[11]] In addition, pantomime performances, supressed by Domitian, were restored.[[12]]

Some of the Nerva's walls and foundations date from the 1500s (others from a century later), but the modern amenities date only from 1997. The setting, above and a few steps from the Roman Forum, will appeal to any student of archaeology and literature, and the warm welcome from the Cirulli brothers will appeal to all. The decor is accented with wood panels and terra-cotta tiles; some guest rooms even retain the original ceiling beams. The furniture is contemporary and comfortable, with tiled bathrooms (mainly with showers) and adequate shelf space. All rooms are soundproofed.

Because he reigned only briefly, Nerva's public works were few, instead completing projects which had been initiated under Flavian rule. This included extensive repairs to the Roman road system and the expansion of the aqueducts.[30] The latter program was headed by the former consul Sextus Julius Frontinus, who helped to put an end to abuses and later published a significant work on Rome's water supply, De Aquis Urbis Romae.[31] The only major landmarks constructed under Nerva were a granary, known as the Horrea Nervae,[32] and a small Imperial Forum begun by Domitian, which linked the Forum of Augustus to the Temple of Peace.[33] Little remains, partly because the Via dei Fori Imperiali cuts across it.
