According to tradition, he died in the capital's central Largo Argentina square - home to the remains of four temples.
Italian fashion house Bulgari funded the work at a site that was first discovered and excavated during building work in Rome in the 1920s.
The area - close to where Caesar is supposed to have exclaimed "Et tu, Brute?"
