Summary
Antiquity
Since we have no literary references to the Schola Xanthi (Figs. 0.3–4, 1.3, 8.9–10, 16.1–5), our reconstruction of its early history is largely conjectural. Possibly Augustan or erected during the construction of the Arch of Tiberius and the Temple of Concord, it was remodeled when Titus and Domitian built the Temple of Vespasian, and, finally, while Septimius Severus was putting up his adjacent arch, it was again redone. After antiquity, the site disappeared under the rubble that covered the west end of the Forum, and our only information on it comes from documents that relate the history of the little Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (built c. 685 CE, destroyed c. 1575). Near the Arch of Severus, the church faced the Forum, its apse not far from the three surviving columns of the Temple of Vespasian.
