Forum of Nerva, Rome, Italy
The forum nervae was the fourth and smallest of the imperial fora | its construction was started by emperor domitian before 85ce but officially completed and opened by his successor nerva in 97ce, hence its official name.
Following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the area reverted to marshland. In the 9th century, a number of houses were built on the site, with materials salvaged from the ruins. The temple of Minerva remained relatively intact until its demolition by Pope Paul V in 1606 to provide materials for the Acqua Paola fountain in the Janiculum, and the Borghese chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore.
