Summary
Creating and dedicating temples to the gods was always a pious act in ancient society; it was often a moral and civic duty, and almost always a shrewd and popular political expedient. Archaeological remains provide ample evidence the building of many Republican-period temples in and outside of Rome. Many more that have disappeared without leaving any physical trace are known from inscriptions and ancient literary sources. Temples – either as single structures, or as a part of a group of other religious buildings in a sanctuary – were the most common of all architectural types in the Roman world. But, who built them and who paid for them?
