Temple of Quirinus

The Temple of Quirinus was an ancient Roman temple built on the western half of the Quirinal Hill near the Capitolium Vetus, on a site which now equates to the junction between Via del Quirinale and Via delle Quattro Fontane, beside Piazza Barberini. Domitian later built the Temple of the gens Flavia nearby.
According to ancient authors, the temple of Quirinus was built and dedicated to Quirinus by the consul Lucius Papirius Cursor in 293 BC.
Work was done on the temple in the early imperial period, and literary references are found until the 4th century AD.
Fieldwork conducted by Andrea Carandini employed ground penetrating radar on the Quirinal Hill, revealing possible remains of the temple.
