Quote:According to Augustine, even before the Christianisation of the Roman Empire, Temples and other Pagan religious places were occasionally used as secular dwellings. I would not be surprised to find that some of the minor religious buildings were given over to this use.

Right, Matthew. The Senate could convene in public buildings like theaters or temples. In 44 BC, the Senate convened in the theater of Pompey on the Ides of March. Later it wasn't really necessary to use temples or theaters anymore with the rising use of basilicas which were built exclusively for secular government business.
