In the comitium popular assemblies were held and local magistrates were elected. The building of the 3rd century BC lost its role in the 2nd century BC in favor of the nearby forum and was partly absorbed by the temple of mens bona, a deity who embodied the debt of gratitude of the former slaves towards their former masters and in this case of the inhabitants of Pestum towards Rome.

Better known as Basilica, from the name given to it by eighteenth-century scholars due to the almost total disappearance of the walls of the cella, the pediment and the trabeation. It is actually dedicated to Hera, wife of Zeus and the main divinity of Poseidonia. It is a Peripteral with nine columns on the fronts and eighteen on the sides (24.35 x 54 m), the cella has a well-preserved pronaos, corresponding to the odd number of columns on the front and is separated by a central colonnade, partly preserved and intended to support the peak of the roof. At the back of the cella is the adyton, a space inaccessible to the faithful and home to the temple's treasury.

Founded in the Caesarian era (around 50 BC), it is among the oldest examples of this type of building. Initially built without an external ring, it still retains a few steps of the caeva (stairs for the public). The balteo, a parapet separating the arena from the cavea, was built to a considerable height to avoid aggression from the animals performing in the arena. At the end of the 1st century AD, an external ring was added consisting of a series of arches resting on brick pillars, above which the crowning of the cavea (maenianum summum) was positioned, perhaps made of wood. Currently, the amphitheatre is only partially visible since approximately a third is buried under the modern road.
