Between 2012 and 2015, archeologists working as part of the Gabii Project excavated the Monumental Mid-Republican Building Complex within Area F of the excavation sites at Gabii. This monumental structure was constructed in the urban center of the ancient city of Gabii between 350 and 250 BCE. The building complex was situated at a crossroads leading to Tibur, Praeneste, and Rome. It was constructed of unusually large stones for the period, with several of its foundation stones weighing several thousand pounds, and boasted a floor plan of 60x35, making it a striking example of Republican monumental architecture. Buildings in the complex were designed to include spaces designated for bathing, public feasts, ritual activity, and potentially administrative functions.
