Dutch ..... Granito del foro is een stollingsgesteente dat vroeger werd gedolven bij Mons Claudianus in Egypte. Het is in feite geen graniet maar granodioriet, en is genoemd naar het gebruik in gebouwen van het Forum Romanum, vooral tijdens de heerschappij van Trajanus en van Hadrianus, en in de architectuur tijdens de tetrarchie.
