Aedes Herculis Musarum in circo Flaminio. Connotati cultuali, ideologici e architettonici del monumentum di M. Fulvio Nobiliore

Abstract

The temple of Hercules Musarum represents a problematic issue in many respects. We know neither its precise date of construction, nor its architectural
configuration. In both cases these are problems that have important implications, not only with regard to the monument, but more generally for a better
understanding of the historical context in which it was built. This article begins with a new analysis of the different sources of information on the monumental
complex, with special regard to the relevant archaeological remains, and proposes a new hypothesis on its architectural form and the problems connected to it.
