3. Aulus Postumius Albus Regillensis, the Roman dictator, built the Temple of Castor and Pollux in 484 BC. It was built in honour of the Dioscuri (the twins Castor and Pollux) following their legendary victory in the Battle of Lake Regillus, where the Romans defeated the Latins for the first time.
4. Vesta Temple: The oldest sacred building on the Forum, a small circular east-facing temple with Corinthian columns. Vesta, the goddess of the hearth (domestic), home, and family, was honoured. In Ancient Rome, the temple was a treasured structure because it held the Sacred Fire, which was guarded by the Vestals.
