Sant'Omobono Area, Ancient temple ruins in Forum Boarium, Rome, Italy
The archaeological site contains remains of two major temples, dedicated to Fortuna and Mater Matuta, with distinct architectural features and religious artifacts.
Excavations initiated in 1937 revealed multiple layers of construction, including a temple from the 6th century BCE, establishing it as the oldest temple site in Rome.
The location near Tiber Island served as a meeting point for different cultures, where Latin, Etruscan, and Mediterranean traders conducted business and religious ceremonies.
The site undergoes research through collaboration between Rome municipality authorities, University of Calabria, and University of Michigan archaeologists.
The excavation area preserves seventeen distinct occupational phases, featuring sacrificial pits, wells, and an Etruscan inscription on an ivory tessera hospitalis.
