The '''Tabularium''' was the official records office of [[ancient Rome]], and also housed the offices of many city officials. Situated within the [[Roman Forum]], it was on the front slope of the [[Capitoline Hill]], below the [[Temple of Jupiter (Capitoline Hill)|Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus]], to the southeast of the [[Arx (Roman)|Arx]] and [[Tarpeian Rock]].

Within the building were the remains of the [[temple of Veiovis]]. In front of it were the Temples of [[Temple of Vespasian and Titus|Vespasian]] & [[Temple of Concord|Concord]], as well as the [[Rostra]] and the rest of the forum. Presently the Tabularium is only accessible from within the [[Capitoline Museums and Piazza del Campidoglio|Capitoline Museum]], although it still affords an excellent panoramic view over the Forum.

The Tabularium was first constructed around 78 BC, by order of [[Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (consul 78 BC)|M. Aemilius Lepidus]] and [[Quintus Lutatius Catulus (Capitolinus)|Q. Lutatius Catulus]]. It was later restored and renovated during the reign of the Emperor [[Claudius]], about [[46 AD]].

==Architecture==

The building itself had a facade of [[peperino]] and [[travertine]] blocks. The interior vaults are of [[concrete]]. The facade, faced the back of the [[Temple of Concord]] in the Forum and consisted of three levels. The first story was a large and tall fortified wall with a single door and only small windows near the top to light the interior, forum level rooms. The second story featured a [[Doric order|Doric]] arcade (partially preserved) and the third, no longer extant story, had a high [[Corinthian order]] colonnade.
