  Article: Temple of Antoninus and Faustina
In 176 the Senate dedicated a statue to T. Pomponius Proculus Vitrasius Pollio (see PIR1 P 558) "in the pronaos of the temple of the Deified Pius" (CIL VI 1540), and in the period 176-180 another was dedicated to M. Bassaeus Rufus (CILVI 1599; see PIRB 69).
Palladio's proposed restoration of a precinct that encloses only the pronaos of the temple seems to be based on the peperino blocks of the arch, some of which are still visible, and perhaps on other fragments that survived the demolition of 1546.
The unfluted columns of the pronaos are made of cipollino marble; they are 17 meters high and have a base diameter of 1.45 meters, or 5 Roman feet.
