The reason why the Curia Julia has survived while most others have not is that the building was converted into the Basilica of Sant&#8217;Adriano al Foro in the seventh century. Construction of the Curia Julia was begun during the reign of Julius Caesar but it was not completed until after his assassination.<\/p>\n<p>Several sculptures are also displayed in the Curia Julia. The first, the torso of Nero, is probably here temporarily during the Nero Exhibition in the Forum. It is described as a Cuirassed Statue of Nero and is from the Piazza dei Celestini in Bologna. The second is a Statue of Agrippa Minor perhaps recut from a statue of Messalina. This statue is originally from Herculaneum. The third is described as Togate Statue with Portrait of a Princess (Claudia Octavia?). It is from the Forum at Rosele.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Curia-Julia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15310\" title=\"The Curia Julia\" src=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Curia-Julia.jpg\" alt=\"The Curia Julia\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Curia-Julia.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Curia-Julia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Curia-Julia-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The Curia Julia<\/em><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:\u00a0 The Curia Julia (Rome, Lazio, Italy); photographed by Stephen J.
