Tabularium
A repository for state archives, probably in large part those belonging to the aerarium in the neighbouring temple of Saturn, that was built by Q. Lutatius Catulus in 78 B.C. on the south-east slope of the Capitoline. Before its construction the Tabularium was used for the purpose of preserving the state records. It is not mentioned in literature, but its identification is based on two inscriptions, one copied by Signorili and Poggio: Q · Lutatius · Q · f · Q · n · Catulus · cos· substructionem et tabularium · de · s · s · faciundum · coeravit · eidemque · probavit; and the other still partially preserved in one of the rooms of the building: Q · Lu]tatius · Q · f · Q · n · C[atulus · cos · de · s]en · sent · faciundu[m · coeravit ·] eidemque · prob[avit]. The second story seems to have been added, or at least rebuilt, about the end of the first century, but nothing else is known of the history of the building .
