A building located in the southwest corner of the forum and named by the excavator the "Long Rectangular Building," was constructed during the reign of Nero or possibly Vespasian. Immediately to the east of the building exist the foundations of a monumental arch that connect it to the South Stoa. The arch was a single span arch with a width of 4.50 m.
Although the chronological relationship of the arch to the "Long Rectangular Building" is not absolutely certain it is most likely that the arch was constructed as a part of the same building campaign. This arch was used for pedestrian as well as wheeled traffic.
