1 Google Earth currently provides a good aerial view as of 2019, where the older street bed and demolished buildings on the east side can be seen. The Sovrintendenza website (http://www.sovraintendenzaroma.it/i_luoghi/roma_antica/aree_archeologiche/via_alessandrina) observes that the street has become completely decontextualised, its surviving tract ‘divides’ the forums and makes it difficult to understand them, while acknowledging that it forms a good viewpoint. It will be interesting to see if and how the dilemma can be resolved.
