Faustus Cornelius Sulla , a descendant of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix, rebuilt the Curia and named it Cornelia Curia. Gaius Iulius Caesar settled in the context of the massive redesign of the forum in 44 BC. Commissioned with the construction of a successor building, the Curia Iulia , the construction of which had probably not yet begun until the murder of Caesar. It was only established under Emperor Augustus in 29 BC. Completed, so that the senators often gathered at the forum while the new meeting building was not yet available.
