1. Tempio di Elagabalo / Temple of Elagabalus Marker
La costruzione del monumentale complesso templare si svolse in due fasi distinte, tra il 190 e il 240 d.C. L'accesso al complesso era da ovest, per mezzo di una scalinata e un ingresso a piω fornici (Pentapylum?). Al centro era il tempio, del quale restano solo le fondazioni. L'area era chiusa sui lati da portici e la spianata era occupata da ampie zone di giardino. Il tempio fu probabilmente dedicato al Sole dall'imperatore Elagabalo (218-222) e successivamente a Giove Ultore da Alessandro Severo (222-235).
The construction of this monumental temple complex took place in two distinct phases, between AD 190 and AD 240. Entry to the complex was from the west, by a stairway and multi-arched entrance (Pentapylum?). The temple lay at the centre, but only its foundations remain. The area was enclosed on its sides by porticoes and the open area was occupied by broad garden areas. The temple was probably dedicated to Sol by the emperor Elagabalus (AD 218 - 222), and later to Jupiter Ultor by Alexander Severus (AD 222-235).

The Elagabalium was a temple built by the Roman emperor Elagabalus, located on the south-east corner of the Palatine Hill. During Elagabalus' reign from 218 until 222, the Elagabalium was the center of a controversial religious cult, dedicated to Elagabalus, of which the emperor himself was the high priest.(Submitted on January 26, 2025, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
