the Forum, and the other from the Strada dell' Abondanza. The former was graced with a handsome portico of eighteen columns, which was surrounded by raised plat- forms, for the convenience probably of haranguing an audience sheltered from the weather, or for the proclama- tion of edicts and decrees relative to commercial matters. * The entrance to the central area is through a passage, on each side of which are other passages, with a staircase on the right leading to upper galleries. The Chalci...dicum is approached from the Strada dell' Argentarii (Street of the Silversmiths), forming the southern boundary of the building. Here is a small chamber for the custos, or porter, through which may be seen a flight of steps as- cending to the floor of the Chalcidicum and Crypto- portico; the wall on either side is painted in black panels, divided by red pilasters. Under the staircase are the remains of a thermopolium, whose characteristics I have already described. The building, as a whole, consisted of a hypathrum, or open court ; a portico of forty-eight marble columns ; a chalcidicum, or enclosed apartment, at the further ex- tremity; a semicircular recess at the end, containing a statue of Concord; and a crypto-porticus.
