Temple of Neptune, Roman temple in Campus Martius, Rome, Italy

The Temple of Neptune stands as a religious structure from ancient Rome, positioned within the Campus Martius district near the Circus Flaminius.

The temple construction dates back to 220 BC, with its earliest recorded mention appearing in 206 BC, including references to its doors and altar.

The interior contained a sculptural collection by Scopas depicting Neptune alongside Thetis and Achilles, accompanied by Nereids, Tritons, and sea creatures.

The temple site coordinates are 41.8946 latitude and 12.4742 longitude, though the structure remains unlocated and is considered destroyed.

A large frieze from the temple, known as the Altar of Domitius Ahenobarbus, now resides in two separate museums: the Louvre in Paris and the Glyptothek in Munich.
