Built between 100 and 110 AD, the complex was once a bustling commercial and administrative hub featuring over 150 shops, offices, and apartments. Visiting at night, as you did, provides a spectacular view of the multi-level, semi-circular brick facade, which is beautifully illuminated, highlighting the ingenuity of Roman engineering.
