Porticus Minucia, Ancient Roman portico near Capitoline Hill, Italy

The Porticus Minucia stands as a quadrangular structure enclosing four temples in the sacred area of Largo Argentina in Rome's Campo Marzio district.

Built in 107 BCE by Marcus Minucius Rufus following his triumph over the Scordisci, the portico later expanded under Emperor Claudius in the first century CE.

The structure functioned as an administrative center for grain distribution to Roman citizens, containing 45 sections where people received monthly donations.

Recent excavations between May and July 2020 revealed peperino blocks marking the eastern boundary of the archaeological complex near Via delle Botteghe Oscure.

A fragment of the Forma Urbis Severiana marble map confirmed the identification of Porticus Minucia remains east of Largo Argentina.
