Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, CURIA POMPILIANA (search)
CURIA POMPILIANA another name for the curia Iulia, used only in Hist. Aug. (Aurel. 41; Tac. 3). It may denote the growth of a late tradition that attributed the building of the first curia to Numa rather than Tullus. A hint that this was an intentional substitution may possibly be found in Ammianus' phrase (xiv. 6. 6. [353 A.D.] : Pompiliani redierit securitas temporis (Jord. i. I. 158; ii. 252). But it is more probably a mere invention (SHA 1916. 7 A, 13).

Marcus Aurelius sold the treasures of the imperial palace to defray the expenses of war (Hist. Aug. Marc. 17. 4; 21. 9; Eutrop. viii. 13; ep. de Caes. 16. 9), and Aurelian burned the lists of the proscribed (Hist. Aug. Aurel. 39. 3; cf. Cass.

Iuv. 10. 24). The forum is represented on coins (Cohen, Traj. 167-169), and is mentioned in Reg. (Reg. VIII, app.; Pol. Silv. 545). The hemicycle on the north-east side of the forum area has been partially excavated (NS 1907, 414-427). Built of ornamental brick with travertine trimmings, it consists principally of two stories of chambers abutting directly against the side of the
