We came to the temple of Hercules the Conqueror from the side of the Palatine Bridge. The temple is a small round building surrounded by marble columns. Probably, because of its small size, it has survived to this day. In fact, this is one of the oldest buildings in Rome that has survived to this day, it was built around 120 BC. e.
Perhaps it was possible to go inside, but we did not try, because there is a low iron fence around the temple.
Hercules the Invincible was the god of victors - victors. The temple was dedicated to Hercules by a merchant who honored him as his patron. The ancient building, in ancient times, was quite popular, because inside it there were several frescoes made by the famous poet Mark Pacuvius.
It is possible to organize a guided walking tour and listen to the deeper stories of ancient Rome, but I love to wander around and explore the beautiful city on my own. To each his own.
