Below This 2,000 year old stone, which once marked the pomerium, the sacred boundary of the ancient city of Rome, was discovered during excavations in the Piazza Augusto Imperatore. It is now on temporary display in the Ara Pacis Museum fittingly, next to a statue of the Emperor Claudius and will eventually be displayed at the Mausoleum of Augustus.
