Porticus Minucia, Ancient Roman portico near Capitoline Hill, Italy
Porticus Minucia is a quadrangular structure enclosing four temples in the sacred area of Largo Argentina in Rome's Campo Marzio district. The complex was large and organized with multiple functional spaces.
The structure was built in 107 BCE by Marcus Minucius Rufus following his victory over the Scordisci. It was later expanded under Emperor Claudius in the first century.
The structure served as an administrative center where Roman citizens received monthly grain distributions. It was an important part of daily life for ordinary people in the city.
The site is located near Via delle Botteghe Oscure and can be explored through excavated areas. Visitors should be aware of uneven ground and active archaeological zones.
A fragment of the Forma Urbis Severiana marble map confirmed the identification of the remains east of Largo Argentina. This ancient map helped archaeologists understand the exact location of the complex.
