The ''Curia Cornelia'' was a place where the Roman Senate assembled beginning c. 52 BC. It was the largest of all the ''Curia'' (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. This was the Senate House of the time of Caesar and is significant because its location was moved by Caesar in order to diminish the Senate's dominance within the City and Republic. ==History== In 80 BC, Lucius Cornelius Sulla decided to enlarge the existing ''Curia'' to accommodate the doubling of senators in the Republic. To do this he had to demolish the old ''Curia Hostilia'' and the ''Comitium''. It kept the name Hostilia. The ''Curia Hostilia'' was again destroyed during riots at the funeral of Publius Clodius Pulcher in 52 BC. It was rebuilt again by Faustus Cornelius Sulla, a descendant of L. Cornelius Sulla, and took the name Curia Cornelia. In 44 BC, the ''Curia'' was converted into a temple by Julius Caesar during his redesign of the Forum. It is not known when the building was finally torn down, but due in large part to its location in relation to the Forum of Caesar, it would more than likely have been during or after the construction of the first Imperial Forum. Finally, Caesar replaced the ''Curia Cornelia'' with the ''Curia Julia'' (which still stands) in 44 BC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curia Cornelia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
