The centre of life in ancient Rome was the Roman Forum (which the Romans called Forum Magnum) in the valley between the Viminal, Esquiline and Palatine hills. This was a forum civilium (civic centre) and the heart of the city's public, political, judicial and administrative life . It had the aerarium (the treasury) which has in the temple of Saturn, the tabularium (the state archives) which was built on the slope of the Capitoline Hill, the regia (the residence of the Pontifex Maximus, the chief priest of Roman state religion) the saenaculum (which was a place where the senators gathered before the entering the senate house for formal summons) the Curia Julia (the senate house). It had a comitium, the place where the popular assemblies met to vote, public speeches were made and public debates were held. It had a senate house. It had several platforms for public speeches. The oldest one was called the rostra (plural of rostrum). The name came from the six rostra (warship rams) of captured warships which were and mounted to its side. It faced the north side of the comitium towards the senate house. Later it came to be called Rostra Vetera (Elder Rostra) when other platforms were built. These were called rostra with the addition of the name of their builders or the person it honoured. There was also the Graecostasis at the southwest end of the Comitium, to the west of the rostra. The name refers to the Greek ambassadors for whom the platform was built after the annexation of mainland Greece. It became a platform for representatives of foreign nations and dignitaries from the Roman provinces (conquered territories). There were several temples: the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Saturn, the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of Vespasian and Titus, the Temple of Caesar and the Temple of Antonius and Faustina.
