Basilica Sempronia, Civil basilica in Roman Forum, Italy
The Basilica Sempronia stood as an elongated hall with closed lateral walls and interior supports, elevated on a podium above surrounding streets.
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus constructed the basilica in 169 BC on land previously occupied by Scipio Africanus's house and adjacent shops.
The structure represented early Roman governmental architecture, incorporating both public gathering spaces and administrative functions within the Roman Forum.
Modern visitors can examine archaeological remains and structural foundations that reveal construction techniques using tufa blocks reinforced with travertine.
Julius Caesar ordered the complete demolition of Basilica Sempronia in 54 BC to make space for his new Basilica Julia project.
