The picture on the left shows the most distinctive feature of the Lacus Juturna (Iuturna, Iuturnae), the Aedicula, or small niche flanked by columns, which dates to the time of Trajan and is standing in front of the Oratory of the 40 Martyrs. The temple was built to house the cult of the nymph Juturna, daughter of Turnus, king of the Ruteli in the 2nd Century BC. There is an alter at the front of the building which shows a depiction of Turnus and Juturna. In the background can be seen the remains of the Domus Tiberiana. |
