In the south oriental area of the Imperial Forums Vespasiano ordered to build in 71 before Christ the Forum of the Peace initially destined to keep the collections fruit of the Judaic

wars and then to sancite the attempt of the universal peace in the Roman empire but also in the various social classes of the Empire. In addition to a temple, on the ruins of which will be built in the 4th century after Christ the basilica of Massenzio, the area forecasted a big library and various environments destined to the education of the citizens.
As it is testified by the inscriptions of Plinio il Vecchio, the forum of the peace also had the merit to give back to Rome the works that Nerone had closed in his Domus Aurea such as the statues of the Galati of the city of Pergamo, the Ganymede of Leochares and some works of Fidia, Policleto and Nicomaco.
