Temple of Venus and Roma – Temple of Venus and Rome

<a class='topicItem' href='https://nz.trip.com/moments/tag-348172-romanforum/'>#romanforum</a>
One of the largest temples of ancient Rome, the Temple of Venus and Roma once stood as a symbol of the city’s divine power. Commissioned by Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, it was dedicated to Venus, the goddess of love, and Roma, the personification of the city. Though much of it is in ruins, the remains still convey its grand scale. Its location near the Colosseum offers stunning views of both landmarks. For history and architecture lovers, it’s a fascinating site that showcases Hadrian’s vision for Rome. Visiting at sunset makes for an especially breathtaking experience.

temple of Venus and Rome is on the right side of basilica Massentio, and you can see the panoramic view of the Colosseum next door. It feels like one of the best viewing points in the Colosseum.

Palatine: More than just a hill

rome

站在羅馬角鬥場門樓看出去，君士坦丁凱旋門的右側坡道高處還有一座凱旋門，那就是提圖斯凱旋門。
他的一側有銘文，大意是元老院將此紀念碑獻給提圖斯皇帝，以紀念提圖斯在加利利的猶太戰爭大獲全勝。公元71年耶路撒冷陷落，他回到羅馬，得到了盛大的凱旋慶典。
提圖斯凱旋門右側那排列柱的旁邊就是維納斯和羅馬神廟。維納斯和羅馬神廟
維納斯和羅馬神廟於121年開始興建，由羅馬皇帝哈德良親自設計建造。283年，一場大火摧毀了建築局部，307年，馬克森提烏斯對之進行修復。神廟尺寸龐大，超過200根灰色花崗岩柱子環繞著一個長方體，氣勢磅礴。
建築設計獨創性的將希臘化的比例與羅馬的建築技術結合。
神廟設有東西方向兩個內殿和一個前廳。
面向羅馬鬥獸場的一側供奉著維納斯女神venus Felix，面向國會大廈的內殿是獻給羅馬守護神Roma aeterna, 她是羅馬城市及羅馬帝國領土的神聖化身。
維納斯神廟和羅馬神廟的縱向剖面圖顯示，神廟豐富精美的建築裝飾也是他出眾奪目的原因。
穹頂的灰泥中加了金箔，大體量的花崗石、石柱、彩色大理石組成的地面各處細節都展現輝煌大氣。牆壁上覆蓋著大理石板，壁龕中放置著精美的神像，莊嚴豪華的視覺效果震撼人心。
維納斯和羅馬神廟參觀完後，我們便上車繼續出發。從大巴車窗看出去已然是殘垣斷壁的維納斯和羅馬神廟高高矗立在舊城牆的上面。透過殘垣斷壁，依然還能窺見他曾經輝煌燦爛的影子。

Colosseum

Arch of Titus

羅馬帝國最具標誌性的古蹟之一《維納斯和羅馬神廟》

Standing at the gate of the Colosseum, looking out, there is another arch on the high slope to the right of the Arch of Constantine, which is the Arch of Titus.
On one side of it, there is an inscription, which roughly means that the Senate dedicated this monument to Emperor Titus to commemorate his great victory in the Jewish War in Galilee. In 71 AD, Jerusalem fell, and he returned to Rome and received a grand triumphal celebration.
Next to the row of columns to the right of the Arch of Titus is the Temple of Venus and Roma. The Temple of Venus and Roma
The Temple of Venus and Roma began construction in 121 AD, designed and built by Emperor Hadrian himself. In 283 AD, a fire partially destroyed the building, and in 307 AD, Maxentius restored it. The temple is enormous, with more than 200 gray granite columns surrounding a rectangular structure, exuding grandeur.
The architectural design uniquely combines Hellenistic proportions with Roman architectural techniques.
The temple has two inner sanctuaries and a vestibule oriented east-west.
The side facing the Colosseum is dedicated to the goddess Venus Felix, while the inner sanctuary facing the Capitol is dedicated to Roma aeterna, the guardian deity of Rome, who is the sacred embodiment of the city of Rome and the territories of the Roman Empire.
The longitudinal section of the Temple of Venus and Roma shows that the temple's rich and exquisite architectural decorations are also the reason for its outstanding appeal.
The dome's plaster was gilded, and the large granite, stone columns, and colorful marble floors all showcased grandeur in every detail. The walls were covered with marble slabs, and exquisite statues were placed in niches, creating a solemn and luxurious visual impact.
After visiting the Temple of Venus and Roma, we got back on the bus and continued our journey. From the bus window, we could see the ruins of the Temple of Venus and Roma standing tall on the old city walls. Through the ruins, one can still glimpse its once glorious splendor.

One of the most iconic monuments of the Roman Empire, the Temple of Venus and Roma

Rome is the capital city of Italy. It is also the capital of the Lazio region, the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome, and a special comune named Comune di Roma Capitale…

Rome was called the “Eternal City” by the ancient Romans because they believed that no matter what happened in the rest of the world, the city of Rome would always remain standing. Exploring the city centre by foot surrounded by glorious monuments and colossal remains takes you back in time to the “glory that was Rome”.

It was my second visit to Roman Forum, but it was my mom’s first visit 👸 When we visited, she was absolutely amazed by the sheer scale of the ruins and the history surrounding us 😍

The best time to go is early in the morning ☀️ or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and get the best lighting for photos 📸 The golden hour just before sunset makes the ancient columns and arches glow beautifully, making for stunning pictures 🙌

We explored some of the most photogenic spots, like the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and the View from Palatine Hill. If you want a breathtaking panoramic shot 📸 head to Tabularium Viewpoint, where you can capture the entire Forum with the Colosseum in the background 😍

I would recommend taking your time walking through the ruins, imagining what life was like in ancient Rome 💯 Don’t miss the Temple of Vesta and the House of the Vestal Virgins, which offer incredible photo opportunities with their well-preserved columns and statues 🙌
