Its ruins stand at the foot of the Capitoline Hill at the western end of the Roman Forum. The present ruins represent the third phase of the Temple of Saturn, which was built after a fire in 360 AD. The extant inscription on the frieze commemorates this restoration undertaken after the fire. In Roman mythology, Saturn ruled during the Golden Age, and he continued to be associated with wealth. His temple housed the treasury, the aerarium, where the Roman Republic's reserves of gold and silver were stored. This miniature masterpiece serves as a captivating reminder of the enduring legacy of classical architecture and the rich cultural heritage of ancient civilizations. Perfect for collectors of fine art and enthusiasts of historical artifacts, it offers a tangible connection to the grandeur of bygone eras, inviting admiration and awe in equal measure.
