The
Via dei Fori Imperiali (formerly
Via dell'Impero) is a road in the centre of the city of
Rome,
Italy, that runs in a straight line from the
Piazza Venezia to the
Colosseum. Its course takes it over parts of the
Forum of Trajan,
Forum of Augustus and
Forum of Nerva, parts of which can be seen on both sides of the road. Since the 1990s, there has been a great deal of archeological excavation on both sides of the road, as significant Imperial Roman relics remain to be found underneath it.
