The Temple of Divus Romulus (Tempio di Romolo) in the Roman Forum was constructed to honor Romulus, the deified son of Emperor Maxentius in 309 AD. In the sixth century, the temple was converted into the vestibule for the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian. Inside, there are several decaying frescos on the walls and visitors can peer into the basilica through a gate.
