#romanforum One of the largest temples of ancient Rome, the Temple of Venus and Roma once stood as a symbol of the city’s divine power. Commissioned by Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, it was dedicated to Venus, the goddess of love, and Roma, the personification of the city. Though much of it is in ruins, the remains still convey its grand scale. Its location near the Colosseum offers stunning views of both landmarks. For history and architecture lovers, it’s a fascinating site that showcases Hadrian’s vision for Rome. Visiting at sunset makes for an especially breathtaking experience.

The Temple of Venus and Rome is believed to have been the largest temple complex in ancient Rome and is located between the Roman forum and the Colosseum. Construction of the temple was completed in 130 5AD. I was dedicated to the goddess of Venus and to Eternal Rome. Access to the temple is included in the Roman forum tickets however it seems many don’t realise this as there were very few people there when I visited. #celebrateit #rome #italy

Standing at the gate of the Colosseum, looking out, there is another arch on the high slope to the right of the Arch of Constantine, which is the Arch of Titus. On one side of it, there is an inscription, which roughly means that the Senate dedicated this monument to Emperor Titus to commemorate his great victory in the Jewish War in Galilee. In 71 AD, Jerusalem fell, and he returned to Rome and received a grand triumphal celebration. Next to the row of columns to the right of the Arch of Titus is the Temple of Venus and Roma. The Temple of Venus and Roma The Temple of Venus and Roma began construction in 121 AD, designed and built by Emperor Hadrian himself. In 283 AD, a fire partially destroyed the building, and in 307 AD, Maxentius restored it. The temple is enormous, with more than 200 gray granite columns surrounding a rectangular structure, exuding grandeur. The architectural design uniquely combines Hellenistic proportions with Roman architectural techniques. The temple has two inner sanctuaries and a vestibule oriented east-west. The side facing the Colosseum is dedicated to the goddess Venus Felix, while the inner sanctuary facing the Capitol is dedicated to Roma aeterna, the guardian deity of Rome, who is the sacred embodiment of the city of Rome and the territories of the Roman Empire. The longitudinal section of the Temple of Venus and Roma shows that the temple's rich and exquisite architectural decorations are also the reason for its outstanding appeal. The dome's plaster was gilded, and the large granite, stone columns, and colorful marble floors all showcased grandeur in every detail. The walls were covered with marble slabs, and exquisite statues were placed in niches, creating a solemn and luxurious visual impact. After visiting the Temple of Venus and Roma, we got back on the bus and continued our journey. From the bus window, we could see the ruins of the Temple of Venus and Roma standing tall on the old city walls. Through the ruins, one can still glimpse its once glorious splendor.
