BASILICA IULIA
on the south side of the forum, between
the vicus Tuscus
and the vicus Iugarius. It was perhaps begun by Aemilius
Paullus on
behalf of Caesar, probably in 54 B.C. (cf. the difficult
passage Cic. ad Att.
iv. 16. 8, a letter written in that year, and the
commentators, especially
Becker, Top. 301-306; Jord. i. 2. 394; and contrast AJA
1913, 25, n. 2),
dedicated in an unfinished state in 46 (Mon. Anc. iv. 13;
Hier. a.
Abr. 1971), completed by Augustus, burned soon
afterwards, and, when
rebuilt in an enlarged form by Augustus, dedicated again
in 12 A.D. in
the names of Gaius and Lucius Caesar (Mon. Anc. iv. 13-
16; Cass. Dio
Ivi. 27 ;*)iouli/a, is a correction, the text (supra,
73) having *lioui/a.
Suet. Aug. 29). It is not certain, however, that
the building
was entirely finished when dedicated for the second time
(cf. Mon. Anc.
loc. cit.). It was injured by fire under Carinus (Chron. p.
148) and
restored by Diocletian (ib.), and again in 416 A.D. by a

FORUM IULIUM

FORUM IULIUM
the first of the so-called imperial fora, begun by Julius
Caesar and designed, not for a market, but to provide a centre for business
of other kinds (App. BC ii. 102). The plan of this forum had been conceived as early as 54 B.C., for in that year Cicero and Oppius were engaged
in purchasing land for Caesar from private owners, and had already
paid sixty million sesterces (Cic. ad Att. iv. 16. 8). More land was
acquired afterwards, and the final cost is said to have been one hundred
million sesterces, about 1,000,000 pounds (Plin. xxxvi. 103; Suet. Caes. 26), a
sum perhaps exaggerated.
Work was probably begun in 51, during Caesar's absence in Gaul
(Suet. loc. cit.). At the battle of Pharsalus Caesar vowed a temple to
Venus Genetrix, the mythical ancestress of the Julian gens, and proceeded to build it in the centre of his forum (App. BC ii. 68-69, 102; iii. 28;
Cass. Dio xliii. 22. 2), which thus became in effect a porticus surrounding
the temple, a type followed in
