Description
View of the Basilica Aemilia, a civic basilica in the Roman Forum. Gordon Bugbee Collection. "Located on the Argiletum to the west and along the Sacra Via to the south, this building was considered one of Rome's most impressive public monuments ... On the ground floor were ten barrel-vaulted shops, two staircases to the upper floors, and three entrances into the basilica proper. At the east end, the last bay projected out from the portico. The second storey of the portico provided excellent views of the Forum and its plaza. The great basilica hall consisted of a large central nave with aisles running around all its four sides; there was a second aisle along the north side with cipollino columns,"----from Trajan's Column in Rome, Dartmouth College website.
