Curia Cornelia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Curia Cornelia was a place where the Roman Senate assembled beginning c. 52 BC.[1] It was the largest of all the Curiae (Senate Houses) built in Rome. Its construction took over a great deal of the traditional comitium space and brought the senate building into a commanding location within the Roman Forum as a whole. It was the Senate House of the time of Julius Caesar and is significant because its location was moved by him to diminish the Senate's dominance within the City and Republic.
