Basilica Fulvia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 'Basilica Fulvia was a basilica built in ancient Rome. According to Livy (40.51), the censors M. Aemilius Lepidus and M. Fulvius Nobilior (after whom it was named) had it built in 179 BC. It may be that there had been a previous building existing on the site from 210 BC which was incorporated (Plaut. Capt. 815, Curc. 472). In 78 BC, the consul M. Aemilius Lepidus incorporated the building into the Basilica Aemilia (Plin. Nat. Hist. 35.13) and it was renamed the Basilica Fulvia et Aemilia or sometimes simply the Basilica Aemilia.
