The Temple of Divus Romulus

Historical Center

The Temple of Divus Romulus
Built as a vestibule to the Temple of Peace in 75 A.D., it was dedicated by  Maxentius to his son Valerius Romulus (deceased in 309) and completed by Constantine. The portal in bronze and the two adjoining porphry columns are from the original structure. The structure's main hall along with the Temple of Peace went on to become the Church of Santi Cosma e Damiano.
