Regia, Archaeological site in Roman Forum, Italy
The Regia consists of a two-part structure along the Via Sacra with foundations dating back to the Republican and Imperial periods.
The building originated as the residence of Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, and later transformed into the office of the pontifex maximus.
The structure contained separate rooms dedicated to Mars and Ops Consiva, with the eastern chamber restricted to the pontifex maximus and Vestal Virgins.
The archaeological remains reveal an irregularly formed enclosed courtyard paved in tuff stone with evidence of a wooden portico structure.
The sacred lances of Mars stored in the western room reportedly vibrated on March 14, 44 BC, the night before Julius Caesar's assassination.
