VILLA PUBLICA
the only public building in the campus Martius proper
before the end of the republic, built in 435 B.C. (Liv. iv. 22. 7), restored
and enlarged in 194 (ib. xxxiv. 44. 5), and probably again in 34 B.C.
by Fonteius Capito. It is represented on a coin of Fonteius (Babelon,
Fonteia 18; BM. Rep. i. 479, 3856-60) as a walled enclosure, within
which was a square building with two stories, of which the lower opened
outward with a row of arches. It was also decorated with paintings
and statues (Varro, RR iii. 2). If, as seems probable, the Villa is represented on fragments of the Marble Plan (FUR 103, 97; Mitt. 1903,
47-48), it existed as late as the second century, but much reduced in
size and merely as a monument of antiquity. No ruins have been found,
but its site, just north of the Piazza del Gesu, is determined as close to
