<p>The senate-house built by Cn. Pompeius Magnus at the same time as the *Theatrum Pompeium in 55 B.C. stood as an <i>exedra</i> at the E end of the *Porticus Pompei (also s.v. *Dona Pompei; for the name: Suet., <i>Iul</i>. 80.4: <i>in Pompei curiam</i>, 81.3: <i>Pompeianae curiae</i>; further, Gell., <i>NA</i> 14.7.7: <i>in Pompeia</i> [sc. <i>curia</i>]). In 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was assassinated here, and the Curia Pompei was burned by mourners at his funeral (App., <i>B Civ.</i> 2.147). In 42 B.C. it was walled up by the triumvirs and left as a memorial to Caesar’s death (Dio Cass. 47.19.1; Suet., <i>Iul</i>. 88; cf. Suet., <i>Aug</i>. 31.5). It has been identified with the tufa remains in <i>opus quadratum</i> (<i>c</i>.20 x 24 m) behind the Temple of *Fortuna Huiusce Diei in the *“Area Sacra” in Largo Argentina. In the Augustan period, the Curia Pompei no longer functioned as a senate-house, but the building remained as a charred, walled-up memorial. The present map uses the plan by Marchetti-Longhi.</p>
