Archaeologist Dr. Richard King was contacted and states: "The house where Suetonius says Augustus was born stood at the Curiae Veteres, on the slope at the southern corner of the Sacra Via and the Arch of Constantine; the circular excavated remains of the Meta Sudans are nearby. In December 30, 2019 the archaeologically complicated site was fenced and labeled as Curiae Veteres."
Description
Statue of Augustus
Caesar Augustus (23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14) was the first Roman emperor, reigning from 27 BC until his death in AD 14.[nb 1] His status as the founder of the Roman Principate (the first phase of the Roman Empire) has consolidated an enduring legacy as one of the most effective and controversial leaders in human history.[1][2] The reign of Augustus initiated an era of relative peace known as the Pax Romana. The Roman world was largely free from large-scale conflict for more than two centuries, despite continuous wars of imperial expansion on the Empire's frontiers and the year-long civil war known as the "Year of the Four Emperors" over the imperial succession.
