Temple of Victory

The Victoria temple in Rome arose in the immediate vicinity of the Magna Mater temple on the Palatine. The funded from fines and 294 BC consecrated during the second consulship of Lucius Postumius Megellus Victoria temple housed the cult statue of the Magna Mater to the completion of their temple in the year 191 BC The Victoria temple was in late Republican period, a Corinthian exterior trim. In early Augustan period, in 27 BC, the temple was probably renewed again, what a fragmentary inscription from the Palatine speaks, that seems to be substantiated by Augustus initiated work on the temple, in the titulary the honorary title Augustus but not called. In the archaeological record, this intervention can not be established. If the aedes Victoriae was the Corinthian order, it can not be identified with the Ionic temple on one of the relief panels of ara Pietatis.
