Macellum

Macellum
The Macellum of Pompeii is located outside the northeast corner of the forum. When it was first discovered, because of the twelve column bases in the centre, the excavators believed it was a Temple of Hercules. However, when subsequent excavation turned up a large number of fish bones in the drains below the middle of the courtyard, the archaeologists realised that this was a meat and fish market.
