Temple of Saturn
meaning "The Senate and People of Rome restored [the temple] consumed by fire." The pediment and eight surviving columns represent one of the iconic images of Rome's ancient architectural heritage. Except for the Ionic columns capitals carved in the Late Antique style, all of the materials remaining were taken from other buildings. Examples of the "spolia" used to construct the Temple of Saturn include Egyptian granite column shafts and a late Republican acanthus frieze.
