The complex, built in around AD 120, was probably used for the sale of luxury goods as suggested by its position in the immediate vicinity of the Forum and its particularly well cared for appearance.<\/p>\n

Occupied on the south and west sides by a row of\u00a0tabernae<\/em>\u00a0(shops) facing the street, it was arranged around a central courtyard with a basin and well (B).<\/p>\n
