Temple of Tellus, Roman temple in Carinae district, Rome, Italy
The Temple of Tellus stands on the Esquiline Hill, featuring architectural elements dedicated to the Roman goddess of Earth and fertility.
Publius Sempronius Sophus established the temple after 268 BCE following an earthquake during his military campaign against the Picentes.
The temple walls displayed Italia Picta, a detailed representation of Italy that served as a geographical reference for Roman citizens.
The structure functioned as a meeting place for the Roman Senate and maintained its position in Region IV of Rome until the fourth century.
Cicero acquired portions of the temple grounds and subsequently undertook restoration work on the building around 54 BCE.
