Curia of Pompey
The Curia of Pompey, sometimes referred to as the ''Curia Pompeia'',〔 was one of several named meeting halls from Republican Rome of historic significance.〔 A ''curia'' was a designated structure for meetings of the senate as well as a tribal assembly. The Curia of Pompey was located at the entrance to the Theater of Pompey. While the main senate house was being moved from the Curia Cornelia to a new Curia Julia, the senate would meet in this smaller building. It is best known as the location where the Roman Senate murdered Julius Caesar. It was attached to the porticus directly behind the theatre section and was a Roman exedra with a curved back wall and multi levels of seating. In "A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome" by L. Richardson, jr., Richardson states that after Caesar's murder Augustus removed the large statue of Pompey and had the hall walled up, citing Suetonius and that it was later made into a latrine, as stated by Cassius Dio.
==History==
In 55 BC, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus dedicated the opening of the largest theater in the ancient world early, before its full completion. Built from the profits of his war campaigns, the structure was a political statement meant to aggrandize the Roman general/consul and memorialize his achievements throughout his career. This would be copied later by the Roman emperors when creating their own imperial forums.
The full structure consisted of a large theater section incorporating a temple, a pulpitum or stage, scaenae frons and cavea (seating) at one end, a large quadriporticus that surrounded an extensive garden and housed Pompey's collection of art and literature, and the curia itself at the opposite end from the theatre. While the theatre complex stood for centuries, the curia only lasted about a decade. In 44BC Gaius Julius Caesar was murdered by a conspiracy of senators. Afterwards the structure was closed and walled up and said to have been set on fire and a latrine put in its place some years later.
