On the Via Sacra side you can see the remains of the Julia Basilica built by Julius Caesar and restored in the third century under Emperor Diocletian. The partially rebuilt ruins barely help give you an idea of its past splendor; in fact, it was the largest and most magnificent building of the entire Forum, which you can see from its foundation that's 101 meters long and 49 wide, as big as a soccer field! It was the home of the civil court: the large central hall was supported by brick and travertine arches, and the building was divided into several sections so that it could simultaneously host several trials.
