Temple of Divine Romulus

The Temple of Divine Romulus most likely dates form the early fourth century and was originally a temple but then became part of a church. This is probably why it survived so intact, in fact it is one of the best preserved structures in the Roman Forum. The doors of the temple of Romulus are particularly noteworthy as they are the original bronze doors form the original temple that are still in use today and the original key still exists. Sadly the Temple of Romulus is closed at the moment but if you visit the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian, you can view the interior of this ancient temple. #celebrateit #rome #ancient
