Lot Essay

The Temple of Saturn, originally built in 497 B.C. is one of the oldest sanctuaries in the Forum. The eight red and grey granite columns presently standing belong to a reconstruction of the 4th century A.D. after the Empire had become Christian. The Saturnalia, or dedication feast of this temple, is the origin of the modern carnival.
