Argiletum

The Argiletum, later incorporated into the Forum Transitorium (Forum Nervae), provided an exit north from the Forum into the imperial fora and into Subura. The street ran between the Basilica Aemilia and the Curia, past the Forum of Caesar and the Forum of Augustus, before it went into the residential neighborhood.

Roman literature dates the road back to pre-Roman times. In the Aeneid, Evander refers to the road during Aeneas' visit to the site in Book 8.345-346:

[Evander] sacri monstrat nemus Argleti
testaturque locum et letum docet hospitis Argi.

To the northwest are the Forum of Caesar and the Forum of Augustus, Rome's first emperor. Through the northwest colonnade of the Forum of Augustus is the entrance to the Forum of Trajan.

To follow Tristia Tresunus to his second stop, take the Sacra Via Infima exit.
