EMPORIUM
the landing place and market for the merchandise that was
brought up the Tiber from Ostia. It is said to have been established
by M. Aemilius Lepidus and L. Aemilius Paullus when curule aediles in
193 B.C. (Liv. xxxv. 10. 12: porticum unam extra portam Trigeminam
emporio ad Tiberim adiecto), and was probably at first not much more
than an open space with wharf and offices, for it was paved and enclosed
by barriers by the censors of 174 (Liv. xli. 27). It is not mentioned
after this time, and as it lay between the river and the horrea Sulpicia,
it became a part of the system of quays (portus) and warehouses (horrea)
that extended along the left bank of the river for a kilometre south from
the porta Trigemina.
Fragments of the wall and quay and of the steps and paved inclines
which led down to the water to facilitate unloading have been found, and
a few of the stone corbels, sometimes in the shape of lions' heads, which
projected out from the quay and were pierced with holes
