Temple of Minerva Medica

Temple of Minerva Medica
Rome, Italy (IT)
Once part of the Horti Liciniani on the Esquiline Hill, now it faces the modern via Giolitti. Contrary to its mis-attributed name, it is in fact a 4th century dodecagonal nymphaeum of opus latericium, whose full dome only collapsed in 1828, surrounded on three sides with other chambers added at a later date. There is no mention of it in ancient literature or inscriptions.
