1. Il Tempio D / Temple D Marker
Dedicato alle Ninfe o, secondo altre ipotesi, ai Lari Permarini, protettori della navigazione, il tempio per la maggior parte θ conservato sotto l'attuale via Florida.
Fu edificato in opera cementizia all'inizio del II secolo a.C., di dimensioni maggiori rispetto ai templi giΰ esistenti (tempio A e tempio C): la fronte, probabilmente dotata di 6 colonne, era allineata con gli altri edifici sacri, mentre il lato posteriore sporgeva di circa 10 m.
Si conosce ben poco della fase originaria poichι alla fine del I a.C. fu ampliato e completamente rinnovato. Rimangono il grande podio in cementizio, rivestito con lastre di travertino, e la scalinata di accesso.
La cella in opera laterizia, che occupa tutta la larghezza del podio ed θ decorata esternamente da paraste di stucco, θ attribuibile al restauro di etΰ domizianea (fine I secolo d.C.). I resti dell'intonaco dipinto, conservati sulle lastre di rivestimento del podio, appartengono probabilmente a uno degli ambienti che in epoca successiva si addossarono al tempio.

It was built in Roman concrete at the beginning of the 2nd century BC, and was larger than the other existing temples (temple A and temple C): the facade, which probably had six columns, was aligned with the other sacred buildings, while the rear protruded by about 10 m.
Very little is known about the original building, as it was enlarged and completely renovated at the end of the 1st century BC. There is still the large concrete podium, covered with travertine slabs, and the entrance staircase.
The brick cella, which occupies the entire width of the podium and is decorated externally with stucco pilasters, is attributable to the restoration carried out under Domitian (late 1st century AD). The remains of the painted plaster, preserved on the slabs covering the podium, probably belong to one of the rooms built onto the temple in a later period.
