	Temple of Portunus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		The Temple of Portunus is perhaps the most frequently cited example of Roman Republican temple architecture in the world.
		Constructed with local tufa and travertine, the temple was converted into a church in the ninth century and its interiors were decorated with frescoes depicting the life of Saint Mary the Egyptian.
		The building material of the temple suffers from exposure to salts in the air and a fl crust has formed over the volcanic tufa stone, causing flaking and a very fragile substratum.

	Livius Picture Archive: Rome - Temple of Portunus
		The Temple of Portunus, the god of the port, is one of the two temples on the Forum Boarium ("cattle market") that have survived to the present day.
		Nowadays, the close connection between the temple and the water is hard to imagine, because after the flood of 1870, dikes were constructed to regulate the river.
		Until the discovery of the old river port, the function of the square temple on the Forum Boarium was unknown, and it was sometimes -but incorrectly- called "Temple of Fortuna Virilis".
