Rome: Forma Urbis Roma, plan of Temples of Diana and Minerva

Rome: Forma Urbis Roma, plan of the Temples of Diana and Minerva (Vatican Mus.)

These 16th century drawings from the Vatican Library are copies of fragments of the Forma Urbis Roma, a detailed city map made on marble in about AD 200, of which today only fragments survive. These drawings show the Temples of Diana and Minerva on the Aventine Hill.
The Aventine Temple of Diana, one of the earliest temples in Rome, was built by Servius Tullus (579-534 BC). Both it and the Temple of Minerva, built by 200 BC, were maintained in the Empire, but no trace of either remains, except on the Forma Urbis.
The Forma Urbis fragment, shown here.with its 16th century copy, has the inscriptions MINERBAE for Minerva; and CORNIFICIA [NAE] (probably after DIANAE) for L. Cornificius who rebuilt the Temple of Diana in Augustan times.
