Villa Publica, Ancient Roman government building in Campus Martius, Italy.
Villa Publica functioned as a multi-story structure with archways, decorated with statues and relief sculptures across its symmetrical architectural design.
Constructed in 435 BCE, the Villa Publica underwent major renovations in 194 BCE and a restoration by Consul Fonteius Capito in 34 BCE.
The building served as the primary location for census operations and diplomatic meetings between Roman officials and foreign representatives.
Foreign ambassadors and military generals received accommodation within the Villa Publica during their visits to ancient Rome.
In 82 BCE, General Sulla used the Villa Publica as a containment facility where 4000 prisoners were executed under his command.
