Excerpt from Description du Forum Romain Et Guide pour le Visiter
Cet aperçu suffit pour faire comprendre importance historique et archéologique d'une étude sur le Forum Romain: et tous ceux, en effet, qui ont entrepris de décrire les monuments de Rome ont traité longuement de ce lieu, classique entre tous. Toutefois le sol ancien du Forum est resté entièrement caché jusqu'à la fin du siècle dernier; aussi les archéologues qui ont essayé de le reconstituer, ont bien pu appliquer aux divers monuments les passages des anciens écrivains, mais il n'ont pu ni reconnaître les édifices qui restaient, ni eu core moins parler de tant d'autres qui gisaient ense velis sous les décombres Dans les premières années de ce siècle les fouilles du Forum furent commencées par Pie VII et continuées, avec différentes interruptions.
