RIC 622 27.07 grms 31 mm Photo by W. HansenBegun by Hadrian this was one of the largest temples built anywhere and was the largest temple built in Rome. It is the same structure as the one featured by @maridvnvm except there it is seen as a hexastyle temple. This structure was also unusual as it was actually two temples back to back the other being the Temple of Venus, As that temple is the one facing the Colosseum it is that temple that is usually illustrated. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
