Accanto al tempio di Magna Mater gli scavi hanno messo in luce i resti di un secondo basamento identificato con il tempio di Victoria, costruito sulla cima del Palatino nel 294 a.C. Dell'edificio più antico si conservano parte del podio in blocchi di tufo, frammenti di colonne in peperino e alcune terracotta dipinte, tra cui i volti di due statue di divinità che ne decoratano il frontone (al Museo Palatino).

Il tempio fu danneggiato da un incendio nel 111 a.C. e in seguito completamente ricostru.
