Largo di Torre Argentina

The Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome composed of the ruins of four temples and a place called Pompey's Theatre. Pompey the Great was a member for the first Triumvirate, along with Julius Caesar and Marcus Crassus. The reason this place is significant is because there were certain rooms in the theatre that Senators met. It is believed that Caesar was stabbed and killed in one of these rooms.

this photo is also interesting because you can see the mix of the ancient ruins right next to the modern buildings in the background
