Temple of Apollo Sosianus, Roman temple in Campus Martius, Italy

The Temple of Apollo Sosianus exhibits Corinthian columns of Luna marble along its front porch, with additional columns extending along the sides and back.

Built in 433 BC during a plague outbreak, the temple underwent multiple restorations until Gaius Sosius completed the final reconstruction in 32 BC.

The temple interior contained decorated niches for statues and wall scenes depicting military victories and processions representing Roman achievements.

Visitors can observe the remaining temple structures near the Theatre of Marcellus, accessing the archaeological site through guided tours of ancient Rome.

The temple remained the only shrine dedicated to Apollo in Rome until Augustus constructed another temple on the Palatine Hill.
