Temple of Hercules Pompeianus

The Temple of Hercules Pompeianus (Latin: aedes Herculis Pompeiani) was a temple dedicated to Hercules in ancient Rome near the circus Maximus.

Vitruvius (III.3.5) refers to it being decorated in the Tuscan manner.

It contained a statue of Hercules by Myron.

[1] 'Pompeianus' may indicate either that it was an older building built by the Pompeius family or that it was restored by Pompey the Great.

It seems to be linked to Republican-era tufa foundations discovered under Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
