Basilica of Neptune, Archaeological remains of a Roman basilica near Pantheon, Rome, Italy
The Basilica of Neptune features a rectangular structure with interior marble decorations depicting dolphins and tridents along its 46-meter length and 19-meter width.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa constructed the basilica in 25 BC to commemorate his naval victories, and Emperor Hadrian later restored the structure during his reign.
The basilica served as a public gathering space for commercial activities, legal proceedings, and civic assemblies in ancient Roman society near the Campus Martius.
The remains of the basilica stand between the Pantheon and Hadrianeum, with excavated sections revealing the original marble decorations and architectural elements.
The structure's marine-themed decorative elements connect directly to Agrippa's victories at Mylae, Naulochus, and Actium, representing naval power through architecture.
