Built under the direction of Quintus Lutatius Catulus in 78 BC to house state records, the great arches of the arcade and the imposing square stonework (opera quadrata) walls of the Tabularium cover the southern slope of the Capitoline hill looking out over the Roman Forum. Many inscriptions testifying the completion of the monument can be seen all along the Via di San Pietro in Carcere, engraved on ancient buildings which once belonged to a corridor linking a series of vaulted rooms.
