Summary
edit| Description |
English: Temple of Venus and Rome
The largest and most splendid of Rome's temples, the Temple of Venus and Roma was the only one to have ten columns across its principal façade. Designed by Hadrian, himself, who began construction in AD 121, it was dedicated in AD 135 and was completed by Antoninus Pius in 141 A.D. The Temple burned in 307 A.D. and was restored by emperor Maxentius. A double temple, the two cellae are placed back to back, one holding the statue of Venus Felix, ancestor of the Roman people; the other, Roma Aeterna, the genius (personification) of the city. Roma looked toward the Forum, the goddess toward the Colosseum (the apse can be seen above, center), the temple precinct, which essentially was Hadrian's forum, linking them both. |
