Temple of Vespasian, Roman temple ruins in Pompeii, Italy.
The Temple of Vespasian features a central entrance leading to an inner sanctuary with four columns and side staircases leading to the podium.
Excavated in 1817, this temple was constructed after the earthquake of 62 AD and stood until Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.
The temple served as a religious center where Roman citizens performed rituals to honor Emperor Augustus, who was associated with local deities.
The temple remains form part of the Pompeii archaeological complex, which receives visitors daily and offers professional guided tours.
The marble altar inside the temple displays detailed bas-relief sculptures depicting ancient sacrificial ceremonies performed by Roman priests.
