<p>Twin temples dedicated to Fortuna and Mater Matuta located at the N border of the *Forum Bovarium, just inside the *Porta Carmentalis (Livy 24.47.15-16, 25.7.6). Tradition held that both were founded by Servius Tullius (Dion. Hal., <i>Ant. Rom.</i> 4.27.7, 4.40.7; Livy 5.19.6; Ov., <i>Fast.</i> 6.569-72, 6.613-26), and the temples are often mentioned together (e.g., Livy 33.27.3-4: <i>in foro Bovario ante Fortunae aedem et Matris Matutae</i>), even sharing a dedication day (Degrassi, <i>Inscr. Ital</i>. 13.2, 468-69). Since both temples burned in the fire of 213 B.C., which also damaged the *Forum Holitorium and *Porta Carmentalis, a location in that vicinity seems likely (Livy 24.47.15; cf. *Spes, Aedes). These factors led scholars to identify the twin temples discovered in 1937 near the Church of S. Omobono as those of Fortuna and Mater Matuta (Colini <i>et al</i>.; Pisani Sartorio, <i>LTUR</i>); further, archaeological evidence dates this site back to the Archaic period (Gjerstad), which corresponds well with the tradition of the temples’ foundation. The temples share a single, large platform and each has an altar in front of it. Under the nave of S. Omobono is the <i>aedes</i> of Mater Matuta, while the temple of Fortuna lay further S. The visible temple remains seem to belong to the reconstruction in 212 B.C. (Livy 24.47.15, 25.7.5-6; Sommella).</p>
