Machine Room - Area sacra of Largo Argentina
The sacred precinct of the Largo Argentina
The four Republiccan era temples which occupied the centre of the Largo Argentina precinct were, in ancient times, surrounded by a huge quadrangular portico. As the identifications of the temples are uncertain, they are refered to as A, B, C, and D.
The fragments of a colossal female acrolith, 8m in height, were found near to the circular plan temple, called temple B and attributed to Fortuna Huiusce Diei. It appears to be the temple’s cult statue.
A statue of a seated Muse comes from the same area, which must, however, have been part of the set of the nearby Theatre of Pompey.
