Tempio di Adriano [Templum Divus Hadrianus; Hadrianeum] . Campo Marzio, Roma, 2009.
One of the great pleasures of being a pedestrian in Rome is serendipitous discovery of ancient stones. This colonnade of a temple built about the year 200 CE has been incorporated into a more modern building and faces a small plaza which pre-COVID housed one of my favorite trattoria in the city. That place had been recommended to us, and as we walked to it for the first time we were faced with this remnant of the early Empire.
