Temple of Castor and Pollux, Roman temple in Campus Martius, Italy
The Temple of Castor and Pollux features three remaining Corinthian columns crowned with an entablature, reaching nearly 19 meters in height at the Roman Forum.
The temple, dedicated in 484 BC following the Battle of Lake Regillus, underwent reconstruction by Tiberius in 6 AD after a devastating fire damaged the structure.
Annual ceremonies at the temple included a parade of 5,000 cavalry members led by two riders representing the divine twins who appeared during battle.
The temple complex contained 25 separate chambers and functioned as both a Senate meeting location and an office for weights and measures standards.
Excavations revealed that one of the temple chambers served as a working space for a dental practitioner during the Roman period.
