20120603zb_RomanForumShrinePlaque Plaque at the Altar of Caesar

Translation:

ALTAR OF CAESAR
Caesar's body was laid in the Roman Forum where the ancient seat of Roman power resided. There they gathered tables, chairs and any other type of wood that they found. They lit the fire and all the people witnessed the burning of the fire during the night. In this place they built first an altar and then a temple to the same Caesar, in which he is now honored as a god.
