Tempio di Vespasiano

The remains of the ancient town can be visited

On the Roman Forum in Rome stands the Temple of Vespasian and Titus. It is known for its three still visible Corinthian columns, which are set against the base of the Tabularium.

History+

Construction of the temple began in 79 AD under Emperor Titus to honor his deified father Vespasian. The consecration of the structure took place around 87 AD under Domitian, with the temple now dedicated to both emperors, Vespasian and Titus. Originally, the inscription bore only Vespasian's name; a later addition under Septimius Severus and Caracalla referred to a renovation.
