There is some very ornate marble decorating the entrance to the building of Eumachia, accessed from the Forum. The statue of Eumachia was discovered in the courtyard here and was commissioned by the guild of cloth-makers, dyers, and launderers. Eumachia was a priestess who paid for the construction of the building which served as a business headquarters for dyers and launderers. The building was dedicated to Concordia Augusta - also known as Livia, the wife of Augustus Caesar – and both woman were influential during the 1st Century.
