The basilica is located to the north of the forum and also underwent extensive renovations, changing its archaic double portico for a central nave and a perimeter ambulatory. The interior was decorated with stuccoes and limestone slabs with ornaments and moldings.
​
The taverns were located on the southern, eastern, and western sides of the forum. They were commercial locations with a large doorway and usually covered with a barrel vault. A skylight let light into a wooden attic that was used for storage. They faced the main roads of the city.

A cryptoporticus extends to the western side and a monumental entrance with a staircase sits on the southern edge.
