The Porticus Octavia (Octavian Portico) was a portico in ancient Rome, built by Gnaeus Octavius in 168BC to commemorate a naval victory over Perseus of Macedonia.[1] It stood between the Theatre of Pompey and the Circus Flaminius. Pliny describes it as a double portico with bronze Corinthian capitals, for which it was also called the Porticus Corinthia.[2] It may have been the earliest use of this architectural order in Rome,{{cn|date=September 2013}} and is possibly to be identified with remains in the Via S. Nicola ai Cesarini, represented in the Severan Marble Plan (frg. 140).[3] Velleius Paterculus called it multo amoenissima, or "by far the loveliest" of the porticoes,[4] but has left no traces.[5] In 33 BC, Octavian (the future Augustus) recovered the military standards lost by Gabinius to the Illyrians, and displayed them at the Porticus Octavia, which he rebuilt to commemorate the conquest of Dalmatia.[6] References1. ^Festus 178; Velleius Paterculus II.1 2. ^Pliny, Natural History XXXIV.13 3. ^BC 1918, 151‑155. 4. ^Velleius II.1. 5. ^HJ 488‑489; AR 1909, 77 6. ^Appian Illyrian Wars 28.
