Curia of Pompey, Roman Senate assembly hall in Campo Marzio, Italy

The Curia of Pompey featured curved back walls and multiple rows of seats arranged at different levels within the exedra structure.

The building gained historical significance as the location where senators assassinated Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in 44 BCE.

The senate hall formed part of Pompey's Theatre complex, which established a new architectural pattern for public gathering spaces in ancient Rome.

The archaeological remains of the structure lie beneath modern streets and tramway lines at Largo di Torre Argentina in central Rome.

Augustus ordered the placement of a specific marble slab measuring two by three meters to mark the exact spot of Caesar's assassination.
