Temple of Diana, Roman temple on Aventine Hill, Rome, Italy

The Temple of Diana featured an octastyle design with two rows of columns along its sides, mirroring the architectural layout of the Artemision at Ephesus.

King Servius Tullius established the temple in the 6th century BCE as a federal sanctuary for the Latin League, replacing the Temple of Diana at Aricia.

The temple served as both a sanctuary and an assembly location for Latin cities under Roman leadership, maintaining records of important legislative documents.

The perimeter walls of the temple cell remain preserved within the dining room of a restaurant situated on the Aventine Hill.

The temple contained a bronze pillar displaying the Icilian Law from 450 BCE, which allocated public land on the Aventine Hill for private residences.
