Horrea Piperataria, Archaeological site near Roman Forum, Italy.
The Horrea Piperataria consists of ancient brick ruins situated along the Via Sacra, near the foundations of the Basilica of Maxentius in Rome.
Emperor Domitian ordered the construction of this warehouse during his reign, which later sustained fire damage under Emperor Commodus in the second century.
The building served as the central distribution point for spices imported from Egypt and Arabia, reflecting the Romans' extensive trade connections across regions.
Archaeological excavations beneath the Basilica of Maxentius continue to reveal structural elements and artifacts related to ancient Roman commerce.
The warehouse featured specialized storage areas for different spice varieties, with architectural elements designed to protect valuable commodities from moisture and theft.
