Temple of Matidia, Roman temple ruins in Campus Martius, Rome, Italy

The Temple of Matidia features a remaining cipollino marble column measuring 17 meters high, along with ancient brick walls in Vicolo della Spada d'Orlando.

Emperor Hadrian commissioned the temple's construction in 119 AD to honor his mother-in-law Salonia Matidia after her death and subsequent deification.

The temple stood between two basilicas, demonstrating the Roman practice of creating architectural complexes that combined religious structures with public gathering spaces.

The archaeological remains are located near Piazza Capranica, with the most visible elements accessible through the narrow streets of central Rome.

A lead water pipe inscription reading 'templo matidiae' discovered near Sant'Ignazio confirmed the exact position of this ancient religious structure.
