Temple of Portunus

The Temple of Portunus (Italian: Tempio di Portuno) is a small ancient Roman temple in Rome, Italy, on the modern Piazza della Bocca della Verità. It was built beside the ancient Forum Boarium, the Roman cattle market associated with Hercules, which was adjacent to Rome's oldest river port (Portus Tiberinus) and the oldest stone bridge across the Tiber River, the Pons Aemilius. It is theorized that it was dedicated to the Roman god Portunus although the precise dedication remains unclear as there were several temples nearby also with ambiguous dedications.
