Hello! Me again, with another research question for my novel set in fifth-century AD Rome. One of my characters is tried for sorcery before the praefectus urbi in 436. My question is whether we know where such trials would have been physically located. I'm guessing at the praefectus' tribunal in the Forum (i.e., outside rather than in a courtroom as such), but it would be nice to have confirmation. Thanks!
