Ricostruito alla metà dell'Ottocento con gli elementi antichi recuperati dagli scavi, il portico ha una forma particolare: è costituito da dodici colonne ed altrettante stanze retrostanti (oggi solo sette), dedicate ciascuna ad una divinità dell'Olimpo. La costruzione, che esisteva già nel I sec. a.C., ha subito vari rimaneggiamenti: quanto oggi resta risale alla fine del I sec. d.C., anche se l'iscrizione ricorda i lavori del Prefetto di Roma Vettio Agorio Pretestato, uno degli ultimi oppositori del Cristianesimo, vissuto nel IV sec. d.C..
