Yeah, I thought there was a sacred fire of Vesta burning long, long before 28 b.c. and that, in fact, one of the first things Octavian did was build a new temple for her. I thought it was right smack dab in the middle of the forum.

This...I may be getting it confused with another digital reconstruction, but it seems to me like this was done like...around 2000.

Experts have digitally reconstructed Rome's earliest major temple, the Temple of Apollo, built by the first Roman emperor, Augustus.Somebody desperately needs a history lesson.

Somehow I would have thought that the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, built on the Capitoline hill by the Tarquins and dedicated in the first year of the Republic, would be older than a temple built by Augustus.

Looks like the temple in that Star Trek episode.

Oldest temple of the empire maybe. The republic dates to 500 year prior. Lots of Roman temples older than this one.

It sure is. It would make you think that the Romans didn't get around to building a major temple until 28bc.

Is it me or are the ruins pictured different than the reconstruction...the ruins appear to have a staircase with three levels, counting the top, and the reconstruction has a sinngle flight of stairs without interruption...

My husband and I went to Rome in 2005 and Palatine Hill and the Forum were our favorite places. You could sit there for days and just imagine how it was when Caesar was alive.
