The Forum was delimited by an impressive wall made of tuff which was 30 meters tall. Along the wall, on the sides of Mars Ultor's temple, there were two secondary entrances: the northern one with two arches and the southern one with a single arch. The rectangular square was lined by two arcades and Mars Ultor's temple.
