Cornelius became a Roman colony Silla (80 BC). Over the years the colony there were some important achievements such as the Baths of the Forum and the Amphitheatre. The current was achieved in the first imperial age, an era which date from the Palestra Grande and public buildings on the east side of the Forum. The latter, surrounded by a portico 
and dominated from the temple of Jupiter, is the heart of the city, its political, administrative and commercial matters.
