This guide offers a comprehensive visit to the ancient Roman Forum Boarium, a trading place and port since archaic times, its main monuments (Temple of Hercules Victor, Temple of Portunus, church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, the Arcus Argentariorum, Pons Aemilius etc.) and fascinating features (the Bocca della Verità) and its history from antiquity to the present day. It comes after 20 years of studies and restoration work that have highlighted the building and urban changes that radically altered the area, its relationship with the Tiber and the surrounding hills.
