Sant'Omobono Area

Description

The Sant'Omobono Area is an archaeological site in Rome located next to the church of Sant'Omobono, at the junction of via L. Petroselli and the Vico Jugario. It was discovered in 1937 and contains much important evidence for archaic and republican Rome. It contains altars and the sites of the temple of Fortuna and the temple of Mater Matuta. An earlier archaic-period temple underlies these two, dating itself to the early 6th century BCE, making it the oldest known temple remains in Rome.
