Curia
Government Buildings, Roman Forum
Fodor's Review:
The best preserved building of the Forum, this large brick building next to the Arch of Septimius Severus was built during the era of Diocletian in the late 3rd century AD. By that time the Senate, which met here, had lost practically all of the power and prestige that it had possessed during the Republican era, becoming a mere echo chamber for the decisions reached in other centers of power. Still, this gives one a haunting image of Roman life back when.
