Temple of Minerva Medica (nymphaeum)

The Temple of Minerva Medica is a ruined nymphaeum of Imperial Rome which dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century CE.

It is located between the Via Labicana and Aurelian Walls and just inside the line of the Anio Vetus.

[1] Once part of the Horti Liciniani on the Esquiline Hill, it now faces the modern Via Giolitti.

[2] The decagonal structure in opus latericium is relatively well preserved, though the full dome collapsed in 1828.

[5] A similar building was built about 50 years later in Cologne, the central part of today's St Gereon's Basilica.
