Early Temples of Ancient Rome and Their Architecture

In my bachelor thesis I focuse on the beginnings of temple architecture in ancient Rome. Its purpose is to follow the development of temple architecture from its origin to the year 264 BC on archaeological basis chronologically, topographically, architecturally and historically. This historic landmark is determined more or less artificially when the First Punic War, directed ancient Rome and its politics finally to the whole Mediterranean. Based on our research, we can assume there are more than 30 temples in Rome itself. I have compiled a detailed list including the bibliography to them and plans. Furthermore, I also used the relevant ancient written sources and professional secondary bibliography. I have fitted collected facts into appropriate historical framework, I have assessed the development of architectural concepts and created a clear map of the discussed buildings.
