Basilica Iulia
Civic basilica housing the centumviral court as well as shops
Reconstructed state: Building as first dedicated on site

Alternate names: Iulia Tecta, Basilica Julia, Basilica Gai et Luci, Basilica Sempronia

Located on the southern side of the Forum between the Temple of Saturn to the west and the Temple of Castor to the east, the Basilica Iulia underwent two major building phases: the first, under Augustus; the second when it was restored after the great fire of 283 AD. What little survives comes from the late-antique phase. The building was 107 meters long x 51 meters wide. The long sides had 17 arcades; the short sides, 7. The facade was faced in white marble. The central hall measured 75 meters x 16 meters and rose three stories high. It was paved in white marble. The surrounding side aisles were two stories high, vaulted, and 5.5 meters wide; the pavement was made of colored marbles. The third storey of the central nave permitted clerestory lighting. There was an extra aisle on the Forum side, which served as an entrance to the complex. On the corresponding side to the south were shops and staircases to the upper floor. In the shops were housed, among other things, the nummulari de basilica Iulia (cf. CIL VI 9707).
