Built in AD 119-120 and renovated in the late 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0century AD, it forms part of a larger complex of warehouses, built in accordance with an overall plan defined in the Hadrianic period that comprises the\u00a0Caseggiato dei Misuratori di Grano<\/em>\u00a0to the north, and the\u00a0Horrea Epagathiana<\/em>\u00a0and the adjacent granaries to the west.<\/p>\n

The building, accessed through two entrances with brick pilasters and pediments (A), consists of 27 covered rooms (cellae<\/em>) destined for storage (B), arranged on three sides of a porticoed courtyard (C) that originally had a covered central passageway (D).<\/p>\n

The warehouse is now used as a deposit for marbles and inscriptions from the excavations.<\/p>\n
