Curia of Pompey , sometimes referred to as the '' Curia Pompeia '' , was one of several named meeting halls from Republican Rome of historic significance . A '' curia '' was a designated structure for meetings of the senate . The Curia of Pompey was located at the entrance to the Theater of Pompey . While the main senate house was being moved from the Curia Cornelia to a new Curia Julia , the senate would meet in this smaller building . It is best known as where members of the Roman Senate murdered Gaius Julius Caesar . It was attached to the porticus directly behind the theatre section and was a Roman exedra , with a curved back wall and several levels of seating . In " A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome " by L. Richardson , Jr. , Richardson states that after Caesar 's murder , Augustus Caesar removed the large statue of Pompey and had the hall walled up . Richardson cited Suetonius that it was later made into a latrine , as stated by Cassius Dio
