Temple of the gens Flavia, Roman temple in Regio VI Alta Semita, Italy

The Temple of the Gens Flavia stood on the Quirinal Hill, featuring a circular design with a central rotunda and nearly square enclosure.

Emperor Domitian commissioned the temple construction around 95 CE on the site of his father Vespasian's house, where he was born.

The temple served as both a sacred sanctuary and a mausoleum, housing the ashes of Emperor Domitian and other members of the Flavian dynasty.

The temple location corresponds to the modern Via delle Quattro Fontane, south of the ancient Alta Semita street in Rome.

In 96 CE, a lightning strike hit the temple, leading to discussions about its structural integrity and divine implications.
