The rectangular buildings ending in apses, there figured, which are situated at the south-west side of the forum of Pompeii, are now regarded as council chambers and other offices connected with the government of the city. Of these halls that with the larger apse measures 12 m. 45 c. in length, without the apse, by 9 m. 40 c. in width.

It is not supposed that the apsidal chamber at. Silchester could have been used for any purpose connected with the governing body of the town, since any such needs were amply provided for by chambers attached to the basilica or forum, but the plan of it is suggestive of use as a meeting place of some kind, possibly for the purpose referred to in the text.
