Temple of Peace, Roman temple in Imperial Fora, Italy
The Temple of Peace features a rectangular enclosure with a central apsidal hall and five rooms opening onto the southeastern colonnade.
Emperor Vespasian ordered the construction of this temple in 71 CE to commemorate the victory over Jerusalem and display treasures from its conquest.
The temple functioned as an open gallery displaying Greek artworks and significant items from Jerusalem, including the seven-branched menorah.
The remains of the temple structure now lie beneath the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, with limited archaeological remnants visible at ground level.
Pliny the Elder documented numerous sculptures and artworks from Greece and Asia Minor that were specifically relocated to enhance this temple complex.
