[edit] Comments from Northwestern University students

This article is very well-written, easy to read, and communicates the information clearly. I think that a photo or drawing of the city showing where exactly the forum is would prove beneficial and allow the readers to orient themselves. Also, more information about why the artwork was chosen (if there even was a particular reason) would give insight into which gods were important at the time or what Caesar himself valued. Finally, maybe you could mention what still stands of the forum today and how its current condition it. -Alice Magill

good article, very well written. i do think you should change that picture, not necessarily to a diagram of Rome or the Forum Romanum, but at least one that shows more of the Forum itself. you have an entire section dedicated to its reconstruction, and yet, to see a picture of rubble is a little disappointing. also, the section about Caesar and the scultupre of the horse is a bit confusing, too many Caesars! its hard to tell which one you are talking about. -- Mark Nilsson

Good article. The information is well stated, and the article is organized well. I agree that a couple of additional photos would be helpful, both to help the reader to understand where the building was located and if possible a model of what it is supposed to have looked like. It might also be a good idea to go into some of what the archaeologists have unearthed recently. -Peter Moore
