Isn't this more specifically the "Curia Julia?"

Ben is correct. The Curia Julia was founded by Julius Caesar in substituion of the Curia Ostilia. It was completed by Augustus in 29 BC.

The Curia Hostilia, destroyed by fire in 52 BC, was somewhat farther north than the Curia Julia. The surviving building is on the site of the Curia Julia, but structurally mostly dates from the late Imperial period.
