Temple of Antoninus and Faustina

安東尼和福斯蒂納神廟

From Via Sacra, the steps leading to the temple of Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina were built in 141 to honor the deified queen. In the 12th century, the temple was converted to the Church of San Lorenzo in Miranda, but when Emperor Charles V visited Rome in 1536, the columns were removed from the medieval masonry.

從Sacra穿過，通往安東尼和他的妻子福斯蒂納神廟的臺階建于141年，以紀念被神化的女王。在12世紀，這座寺廟被改建成位于米蘭達的圣洛倫佐教堂，但當皇帝查爾斯五世在1536年訪問羅馬時，這些柱子被從中世紀的磚石建筑中移除。

Temple of Castor and Pollux

卡斯特和波利克斯的神廟

The three 12-meter Corinthian columns are all that still exist from the Temple of Castor and Pollux, rebuilt during the reign of Tiberius in the first century to replace the original that was built in 484 BC by the son of the dictator Aulus Postumius.
