Atrium Libertatis

The Atrium Libertatis (Latin for "House of Freedom") was a monument of ancient Rome, the seat of the censors' archive, located on the saddle that connected the Capitolium to the Quirinal Hill, a short distance from the Roman Forum. Livy reports that the edifice already existed in 212 BC, when some hostages were kept there, and that it was built again by the censors of 194 BC. It was a large complex, which included the censors' archive, with the lists of citizens and the bronze tables with the maps of the ager publicus, two libraries and maybe a basilica (Basilica Asinia).
