What you'll see
A wide open square scattered with column bases and paving stones, a single standing column, and people sitting on the ruins in the sun.
A brief history
Laid out under the emperor Augustus, it's the largest Roman forum on this side of the Adriatic. In the Middle Ages the lone column was used as a pillory for wrongdoers.
