Bouleuterion (Senate House), probably built in 150 BC. One of the best-preserved buildings in the city. This hall with a central altar, once roofed, held 640 people. Immediately next to the bouleuterion is the prytaneion, possibly of the same date. The officials forming the executive committee of the boulé, elected by the senators, carried out their daily duties in this building. The prytaneion was also the place of the perpetual fire.
