The Forum was an ancient human structure located in the City of the Gods, on ancient Kobol.

After the exodus from Kobol and the establishment of the Twelve Colonies, a second Forum was built on Caprica, either in Delphi or Caprica City.

It is not clear if the Forum was religious in nature (perhaps a temple to the Lords of Kobol), governmental, or simply a civic gathering place. Laura Roslin describes it as a large dome-like structure with a colonnade of pillars surrounding it ^{(TRS: "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I")}.

Other structures on Kobol that might be mirrored on Caprica include the Opera House and the Temple.

Notes

On real-world Earth, a forum was the public space in the middle of a Roman city.

-The Forum was located in the [[City of the Gods]], on [[Kobol]].  After the Cataclysm on Kobol and the establishment of the [[Twelve Colonies]] a second Forum was built on [[Caprica]], either in [[Delphi]] or [[Caprica City]], in tribute of the original.  This may imply that Caprica was the first of the twelve worlds to be colonized and be a reason for its importance above the other Colonies.
