Note 431 — XCII (Q FR II, 1)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
A platform outside the senate-house, where representatives originally of Greek and then of other states were placed. It was apparently possible to hear, or partly hear, the debates from it. It was a locus substructus (Varro, L. L. v. 155). There is no evidence that it was a building to lodge ambassadors in, as Prof. Tyrrell says.
