Abstract

Behind the temple of the Dioscuri lies the extensive imperial building complex of S. Maria Antiqua, which was initiated by Domitian but never completed. Until today it has only been partially investigated and convincing explanations for its orginal intended function are missing. By analyzing its structural characteristics and spatial relationships with the Palatine and the Forum Romanum a new interpretation of the building complex as a new Curia of the Roman Senate attached to the imperial palaces is proposed.
