The '''''Campus Martius''''' (English: Field of Mars) in ancient Rome, was a floodplain of the [[Tiber]] River, the site of the altar of [[Mars]] and the temple of [[Apollo]] in the 5th century BC. Originally used primarily as a military exercise ground, it was later drained and, by the 1st century BC, became covered with large public buildings—baths, amphitheatre, theatres, gymnasium, crematorium, and many more temples. The [[Pantheon]] is the most notable structure extant. The historian [[Livy]] (1st century BC) called the area ''campus ignifer'' because of the volcanic smoke often seen there.
