__The Forum__



In ancient Rome, the forum (plural: fora) was a wide open space within a city in which people met with each other and did business. The forum often had many shops around its perimeter. The forum was a place where important announcements could be made because so many people spent time there. Many fora included a //Rostra//, a large and ornate platform, from which speeches could be made. In this scene, the forum is the optimal location for Brutus to spread the news of Caesar's death.
