You're standing in the Roman Forum, at what's left of the Temple of Caesar. It isn't much: mainly the concrete core of the podium. Look at the front. There's a semicircular niche with the remains of a round altar. It was around here that Julius Caesar's body was cremated, after his murder in 44 BC. Can you see flowers? Visitors still leave them here in his honour. And on 15 March, the day he died, there are special commemorations.
