Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This little book, which appeared for the first time in June 1904, was accorded a very friendly reception by those for whom it was especially intended, namely the large circle of those, who, although not pursuing special historical and philological studies, desire more detailed information about the Forum than the brief statements of the guide books afiord. In less than a year a second German edition has been called for; an Italian edition (i! Faro Romano, storia e monumenli) was issued by the original publishers in April of this year.

Whoever is interested in it will find the evidence for some of my own suggestions in my reports on the new excavations in the Forum published in the fliiiieilzmgen des K D. Instituts, Romise/ze Aeiei/ung (i. Report on 1898 - 1902.
