Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus built the Temples of Jupiter Stator and of Juno Regina, enclosing them with a portico (Porticus Metelli): Juno's temple was to the north, Jupiter's to the south. After 14 B.C., Augustus rebuilt the portico and renamed it the Porticus Octaviae.

Round Temple on the Tiber |

Definition
round temple in the Forum Boarium is sometimes erroneously called the “Temple of Vesta.” Its identification is unknown but the probability favors a dedication to Hercules, who had three temples in this area of the city. The building is the oldest preserved in the city built of marble, dating to the second century B.C. It was restored under Tiberius. It still exists because it was converted into the church of S. Stefano in the middle ages.

a circular temple (tholus) with six columns remaining, was built by Quintus Lutatius Catulus in 101 BC in fulfillment of his vow at the Battle of Vercellae. The temple (aedes) was devoted to Fortuna Huiusce Diei, "the Fortune of This Day." The colossal statue found during excavations and now kept in the Capitoline Museums was the statue of the goddess herself. Only the head, the arms, and the legs were of marble: the other parts, covered by the dress, were of other materials, probably a wooden frame. This is known as an 'acrolithic' statue

built to both house a temple honoring Mars, and to provide another space for legal proceedings, as the Roman Forum was very crowded.[4] Before battle, military generals set off from the Temple of Mars, after attending a commencement ceremony. Other ceremonies took place in the temple including the assumption of the toga virilis by young men. The Senate met at the Temple when discussing war and the victorious generals dedicated their spoils from their triumphs to Mars at the altar. Arms and other stolen goods from the enemy, or booty, recovered from battle were often stored in the Forum as well.
