Temple of Venus and Roma
Seen through the arches of the Colosseum, these columns belong to the Temple of Venus and Roma, built under Hadrian (121–135). As Rome’s largest temple, it honored the goddess Roma Aeterna and Venus Felix, symbolizing the eternity and fortune of the empire. The surviving colonnade evokes its former monumental scale.
