The temple of Pompeii's protecting goddess, on a terrace that once overlooked the sea.

Venus was the protecting deity of Pompeii, and her temple stood near the Porta Marina, on a panoramic terrace facing the sea.The temple was being rebuilt after the earthquake of AD 62: what remains of the building is mainly the podium and part of the enclosure.
