- Not to be confused with the Temple of Victory in the Forum Holitorium.
The
Temple of Victory (Latin templum Victoriae) is a temple on the
Palatine Hill in Rome. It is traditionally ascribed to
Evander, but was actually built by
Lucius Postumius Megellus out of fines he levied during his
aedileship and dedicated by him on 1 August when consul in 294 BC. This temple was used to house Cybele's sacred stone between 204 BC and 191 BC, while
her own nearby temple was still being built and
Cato the Elder afterwards built a shrine of Victoria Virgo next to the temple of Victory.
