Porticus Argonautarum, Ancient Roman portico in Campus Martius, Italy
The Porticus Argonautarum featured covered colonnades supported by walls and columns, creating a sheltered walkway for pedestrians in ancient Rome.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa constructed this portico in 25 BC to commemorate his naval victories, incorporating it within the larger Saepta Julia complex.
The walls displayed paintings depicting the mythological journey of Jason and the Argonauts, reflecting the integration of Greek narratives in Roman public spaces.
Archaeological remains of the structure can be found near Via della Minerva, close to the basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in modern Rome.
Ancient texts refer to this structure as Posidonion, suggesting a connection to Neptune, while its brickwork remains visible along the eastern wall of the Pantheon.
