I have seen the same diatribe that probably prompted this writer to ask this question...allegedly a speech by Meyer, allegedly delivered at Davos, but filled with errors in fact and assumptions outside mainstream thought. I suspect this will turn up on snopes.com eventually as another hoax...it's too obviously bad to have come from so authoritative a source as Meyer.

Augustus built an entirely new Roman Forum. In the Temple of Mars Ultor were statues of Mars, Venus and of the deified Julius Caesar. Augustus often used his own funds to develop new building projects.
The Romans had two types of forum: the forum civilium and the forum venalium. The former was the civic forum and the latter was the commercial forum, or market. The forum civilium was the civic centre and the heart of a city and its public, political, judicial and administrative life. It had a comitia, a place where the popular assemblies met to vote, public speeches were made and public debates occurred. It had a senate house. Roman cities had their own local senate, modelled on the senate of the city of Rome. It had the courts were trials were conducted and administrative offices. It had public buildings (basilicas), shops, entertainments and important temples. At the Forum Magnum (the Romans called it Forum or Forum Magnum, Roman Forum is a modern term) in the city of Rome there were also the aerarium (the treasury) the tabularium (the state archives) the regia (the residence of the Pontifex Maximus, the head of the Roman state religion) the rostra, a platfrom for speeches made with the bows (rostra) of ships captured in a naval battle, triumphal arches which commemorated victories in battle, and statues of important people and gods. Rome had several fora (plural of forum) venalia (plural of venalium):: the Forum Boarium (cattle market) the Forum Suarium (meat market) the Forum Piscarium (fish market) the Forum Holitorium (vegetable market) the Forum Vinarium (wine market) the Forum Pistorium (bakers' market) and the Forum Cuppedinis (delicatessen market). In the city of Rome Julius Caesar also built a forum, the Forum of Caesar. Some emperors also built a forum. These are called the imperial fora. They are named after the emperors who commissioned their construction. They are: the Forum of Augustus, The forum of Nerva, the Forum of Trajan.

Davos,switzerland
In 2009 it was Loic Le Meur's 8th time in Davos.
The name Davos is most known as that of a Marvel Comics' villain, from their "Iron Fist" comics, and from Davos Seaworth, a character in George R R Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". There is some suggestion that Davos is a boys' name of Greek origin, although it is not listed very widely and seems unlikely. It is also the name often given to the World Economic Forum which meets annually in the Swiss town of Davos.
