Inscription. Click to hear the inscription.

Il tempio, di cui resta solo il basamento e una piccola parte dell'elevato, fu eretto da Furio Camillo nel 367 a.C., dopo la pace conclusa tra patrizi e plebei; più volte ricostruito, rimangono i ruderi del rifacimento effettuato da Tiberio nel 10 d.C. A causa della ristrettezza dello spazio, il pronao è posto sul lato lungo della cella, invece che su quello breve. Per le ricche donazioni avute, soprattutto da Livia, moglie di Augusto, il tempio divenne un vero museo, con pitture e sculture dei più importanti artisti greci.

English:
The temple, of which only the podium and a small part of the elevation survives, was built by Furius Camillus in 367 BC after the peace between patricians and plebeians. Rebuilt on several occasions, the remains are those of the later temple constructed by Tiberius in AD 10. Due to the narrowness of the space available, the pronaos is placed on the long rather than the short side of the cella. For the richness of its votive offerings, especially from Augustus's wife Livia, the temple became a true museum with paintings and sculptures by the most important Greek artists.

One tradition ascribes the first Temple of Concord to a vow made by Camillus in 367 BC, on the occasion of the Lex Licinia Sextia, the law passed by the tribunes Gaius Licinius Stolo and Lucius Sextius Lateranus, opening the consulship to the plebeians. The two had prevented the election of any magistrates for a period of several years, as part of the conflict of the orders. Nominated dictator to face an invasion of the Gauls, Camillus, encouraged by his fellow patrician Marcus Fabius Ambustus, Stolo's father-in-law, determined to resolve the crisis by declaring his support for the law, and vowing a temple to Concordia, symbolizing reconciliation between the patricians and plebeians.
