Dedicated to the deified emperor Hadrian in 145 CE by his adopted son and successor Antoninus Pius, the Temple of Hadrian is an ancient Roman building located on the Campus Martius in Rome, Italy. Originally called the Basilica of Neptune, this temple is now correctly recognized as the Temple of Hadrian, finished by Antoninus Pius. One cella wall and eleven columns from the exterior colonnade remain, and the remnants of the temple have been incorporated into a later structure in Piazza di Pietra. The seventeenth-century papal palace of Carlo Fontana, which is currently home to Chamber of Commerce of Rome, included the facade of the temple along with an architrave that was later rebuilt. Even though just a portion of the building survives, research and excavations have given us insights into its methods and stylistic influences, enabling us to reconstruct the relevance of Temple of Hadrian and building dynamics in Imperial Rome. Nearly ten years after death of Hadrian in 138 CE, Antoninus Pius, the succeeding emperor, dedicated this shrine in his honor in 145 CE. While no inscription remains to identify it as a Hadrian temple, his successor Antoninus Pius left an inscription in honor of him, which was included in the Regionary Catalogues with other monuments of the Hadrianic dynasty situated between the Pantheon and the Via del Corso. It appears that there was another significant temple precinct to the west, possibly belonging to Matidia, mother-in-law of Hadrian and her mother Marciana, older sister of Trajan, who were both deified after their deaths. Although there were no significant stylistic advancements in architectural schemes of Rome under the reign of Antoninus Pius, he did see to it that structures started or planned by his late predecessor Hadrian were completed. Eleven fluted columns with Corinthian bases and capitals, and one side of the cella wall that was incorporated into a nineteenth-century palazzo that still houses the Rome Borsa, are all that remain of the temple after it was abandoned long ago. The other side vanished as well. #History #Architecture
