Senaculum, Ancient meeting place in Roman Forum, Italy
The Senaculum stands as a gathering space where Roman senators assembled before official meetings, located near the Temple of Saturn in the Forum.
During the Roman Republic, this structure served as one of three designated areas where senators waited until reaching the required number for formal sessions.
The Senaculum represented the administrative organization of Roman political life, where senators gathered to prepare for legislative discussions and decisions.
Visitors can locate the Senaculum remains near the Graecostasis and Temple of Saturn, following the main path through the Roman Forum complex.
Archaeological research identified foundation structures near the Temple of Concordia that suggest the Senaculum's exact position in the Roman Forum.
