From Wikipedia:

The Septizodium (also called Septizonium or Septicodium) was a building in ancient Rome. It was built in the year 203 AD by Emperor Septimius Severus. The origin of the name "Septizodium" is unclear; the Septicozium was probably named for the seven planetary deities or for the fact that it was originally divided into seven parts. The building had no known practical purpose and was probably meant to be a decorative façade. The Septizodium was located at the place where the Via Appia leads to the Palatine.
