The Mystery of the Building of the Temple of Hercules Victor
<p>Although the Forum Boarium includes several striking sites — such as the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, the Arch of Janus, and the temple of Portunus — the first thing that always catches my eye is the Temple of Hercules Victor.</p>
<p>The well-preserved temple’s round shape and height makes it prominent and stunning. Surrounded by a spacious piazza, the monument is composed of 20 Corinthian columns (only 19 full columns currently stand), which are over 10.5 meters high.</p>
