CHAP. X. The temple of Caesar, Venus Genetrix, and Mars revenger: and the court of Venus.
CAesar of famous memorie had a temple neere his own Forum, at the broad street called Sacra, behind the temple of Faustina. In it were set up as Saints, Victorie and Castor.
In the same Caesars Forum, there stood a chappell of Venus Genetrix, behind the said temple of Faustina. This, Caesar vowed in the Pharsalian war, and dedicated it. After victorie in the warre against Pompey, Caesar enclosed the temple of the said Venus, within a court-yard and a cloister, which Hadrian afterwards repaired and built new.
descriptionPage 1366
Augustus Caesar in the battaile of Philippi, vowed a temple to Mars the avenger, which afterwards hee edified in his owne Forum, wherein were certaine iron pots dedicated to Mars: and two statues, bearing up the tabernacle of Alexander the Great. This is thought to be at this day the church of saint Martina.
