Origin• The Tullianum prison was built by Ancus
Marcius.• It was constructed around the time of his
reign, between 640-616 BCE.• Originally, the the Tullianum was used as a
cistern for a spring which was thought to be used to dispose of corpses.
• It is believed that the dungeon to the prison was later added by the ruler Servus Tullius.

Importance and use• The prison was used as a place to hold
previously condemned suspects until their eventual execution, which would take place in the Tullianum (dungeon of the prison).
• Prisoners held here were not held for long, as their stay in the prison was often short as they awaited trial or death.
• Located near the Roman courts, in order to make imprisonment more efficient and easier to manage.
