专家说明

The Temple of Saturn, originally built in 497B.C. is one of the oldest sanctuaries in the Forum. The eight granite columns belong to a reconstruction of the 4th Century A.D. after the Empire had become Christian. In early times the edifice was the depository of the Aerarium Publicum, the State Treasury, and as such it was maintained by the Senate long after Saturn had been disestablished.
