Temple of Antoninus and Faustina Tempio di Antonino e Faustina
|
|
From the Via Sacra (Sacred Way) a broad flight of steps leads up to the temple of Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina. The temple was built by resolution of the Senate in A.D. 141 in honor of the deified Empress, and was also dedicated to Antoninus after his death. This is recorded in the inscription "Divo Antonino et Divae Faustinae ex S(enatus) C(onsulto)". Of the temple there survive six columns with Corinthian capitals along the front and a number of columns along the side.
