Looking north, it sits on the right hand side of the tiber, as a heart would if you faced a body. It's central location allowed it to grow out and be
close to the other inner city buildings and become the central place for all activity. It was the heart for thoughts and emotions because of the
variety of people who came, died and worshiped
