Description
The Temple of Saturn is a temple to the god Saturn in ancient Rome. The original dedication of a temple to Saturn was traditionally dated to 497 BC but ancient writers disagreed greatly about the history of this site. The ruins of the temple stand at the foot of the Capitoline Hill in the western end of the Forum. Gradual collapse has left nothing but the remains of the portico. This present site represents the third incarnation of the temple, replacing that which had been destroyed by the fire of Carinus in 283 AD. Thus, the partially preserved pediment displays the inscription Senatus Populusque Romanus incendio consumptum restituit, meaning "The Senate and People of Rome have restored what fire consumed".
