TABULARIUM (tabula, board, picture, also archives, records)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 341 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TABULARIUM (tabula, board, picture, also archives, records) , the architectural
term
  given to the
Record
  office in ancient Rome, which was built by Q. Lutatius Catulus, the conqueror of the
Cimbri
 . It was situated on the west side of the Forum Romanum, and its
great
  corridor, 220 ft.
long
 , raised 50 ft. above the forum on a massive substructure, is still partly preserved. This corridor was lighted through a
series
  of
arches
  divided by semi-detached columns of the Doric order, the earliest example of this class of decoration, which in the Theatre of Marcellus, the Colosseum, and all the
great
  amphitheatres throughout the Roman empire constituted the decorative treatment of the
wall
  surface and gave scale to the structure. Traces of an upper corridor with semi-detached columns of the Ionic order have been found in the Tabularium, but this structure was much changed in the 13th century, when the Palace of the Senators was built.
