ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Imperial fora

Imperial fora are big public places from a long, long time ago where important people would come and talk to the public. They were kind of like big open-air meeting places where everybody could gather and listen to speeches and announcements from important leaders. In old times, these fora were really important places for people to learn about what was going on in their city and to hear from the folks who were in charge. There were lots of different imperial fora in different parts of the world, and they were all really impressive and big with lots of fancy buildings and statues. Even though they were made a really long time ago, some of them are still around today, and they’re still really cool places to visit and imagine what it would have been like to be there when important speeches were made!
