The Basilica Ulpia was the centerpiece of Trajan's forum and had a forest of Corinthian columns. It also included law courts where a Roman could appear. The Colosseum was a place for gladiator games and entertainment, not legal proceedings. The Temple of Portunus was a temple dedicated to the god of ports and harbors and would not have had law courts. The Pantheon was a temple dedicated to all the gods and did not have law courts either.
