Nichols, F: Roman Forum -

Résumé :
Excerpt from The Roman Forum: A Topographical Study

Tower Hill, was also the Lombard Street and the Exchange of Rome. The most important financial transactions of the world were there arranged; loans were contracted by which armies were to be raised, provinces to be bought, kingdoms to be conquered, or the liberty of the Republic itself to be overthrown. The great religious festivals of Rome were celebrated in the same area, which was overlooked by the principal temples of the national deities; and the popular Spectacles, which in imperial times filled the great amphitheatre, had their earlier home in the Roman Forum.
