Basilica of Santi Cosma e Damiano is a titular church in Rome, Italy. The gateway to the upper level of the structure is located outside the Roman Forum, while the lower part of the building may be accessed inside the Forum and features genuine Roman buildings. The circular structure at the admission of the Forum, known as the Temple of Romulus, was likely constructed as a Roman temple in the early fourth century and may have been devoted to Valerius Romulus, the sanctified son of Emperor Maxentius. It currently houses a small archeological exhibition. Maybe the imperial forum library served as the principal structure. According to conventional wisdom, Emperor Maxentius erected the Temple in honor of his son and co-consul Valerius Romulus, who passed away in 309 and was granted celestial honors. The temple structure was likely a component of reconstruction program of astounding fervor of Maxentius, which he started after a devastating fire in 306; the project was only partially finished when he passed away. Based on the discovery of a coin dating to 307 AD that reveals the unique design of the structure and a nearby consecration to Valerius Romulus as a divinized mortal; thus the association of the temple with Valerius Romulus is provisional. There have also been speculative claims that the temple is a reconstruction of the ancient Jupiter Stator temple, or a Penates temple that Maxentius renovated. After becoming a church in 527, it has significant early Christian artwork that has been extensively repaired, particularly in its mosaics. It is currently one of the historic churches known as tituli, which the cardinals serve as cardinal-deacons. The basilica is situated in the Forum of Vespasian, sometimes referred to as the Forum of Peace, and is dedicated to the two Arabian Christian brothers, doctors, martyrs, and saints, Cosmas and Damian #History #Architecture
