Temple of Venus

temple · 330 BC – 2100 AD

The Temple of Venus (VIII,1) is located adjacent to Pompeii's Porta Marina. The site was cleared in the early years of the colony to make way for the temple. Seriously damaged by the AD 62 earthquake, the sanctuary was still being rebuilt at the time of its ultimate destruction.
