Description
View of the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina at the Roman Forum. "A temple built after the death of the Empress Faustina (141 AD) on the north side of the Forum just east of the Basilica Aemilia. The cult of Antoninus Pius was added at the emperor's death and deification (161 AD). It was a hexastyle, prostyle temple in the Corinthian order set on a high podium. The columns are cipollino. The fabric of the building was constructed of peperino tufa revetted with white marble. It survives in a fair state of preservation because it was converted into a church in the early middle ages,"--Digital Roman Forum (UCLA) website.
