At the north end of the Forum are the remains of a very large temple, measuring35 x 15.5 m. The preserved height is 17 m., the original height may have beenover 20. It was built during the reign of Hadrian (c. 120 AD). It has been arguedthat Hadrian himself and certain people close to the Imperial court contributed tothe building of this important temple.

The ruins must always have been visible. Records of the removal of marble fromits walls date back to the 15th century. The destruction continued until the early19th century.

Until the early 20th century it was often stated that this was the temple ofVulcanus, the main deity worshipped in Ostia. Already in the 19th centuryhowever, it was suggested that it was the Capitolium, a temple dedicated to themain Roman deities, the Capitoline triad (Jupiter, Juno and Minerva). Capitoliacould be found in many cities in the western half of the Empire, following theexample of the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus on the Capitoline hill in Rome. Thesuggestion is supported by the position and size of the temple, but conclusiveevidence has never been found. On the other hand: we know from an inscriptionthat the temple of Vulcanus was restored in 112 AD. That date cannot bereconciled with the date of the Capitolium, which is based on accurately datedstamps on several bricks.

In front of the temple was a marble altar, with a frieze of weapons. The templeitself was erected on a high podium, possibly intended as an artificial Capitolinehill. A huge staircase of 21 steps leads to a vestibule, originally surrounded by tenmarble columns. A marble frieze with ox-heads and festoons was over thevestibule. The walls of the cella were erected in brick. There is a strikingpolychrome effect, through the use of yellow bipedales for relieving arches andbonding courses, and of red bricks. Does this indicate that in the Hadrianic periodthe bricks were not covered? At some point in time the inside and outside of thewalls were certainly lined with marble, however: holes for the attachment of themarble decoration (including marble pilasters on the outside) can be seen.Remains of a marble cornice were found.

In the entrance to the cella is a marble threshold, made of one block (6.16 x 1.42m.). It is only slightly smaller than the threshold of the Pantheon in Rome. Thedoors were probably made of bronze. The cella had a marble floor, that has nowdisappeared (it is known from 19th century drawings: squares enclosing rhombs).In the side walls are three niches, the central one semicircular, the flanking onesrectangular. They must have contained statues. Set against the back wall is apodium with a tripartite substructure, accessible via staircases on the sides. Oneshould imagine the cult statues of the Capitoline triad here.

Below the temple, in the podium, is a basement: a row of three rooms, coveredby barrel vaults, accessed through a door in the back side of the building. Therooms have floors of opus spicatum. They are lit through slit windows. The

function of these rooms is unknown. We are probably not far from the truthhowever, when we imagine that important records were stored here or theaerarium publicum, the "public treasure".

An inscription mentions an aedituus Capitoli, A. Ostiensis Asclepiades. Thistemple-keeper was a freed slave of the town, like Q. Ostiensis Felix, temple-keeper of the Temple of Rome and Augustus. The latter temple is thecounterpart of the Capitolium, at the south end of the Forum. But the Capitoliumalso had an effect towards the north. Between the back wall of the Capitoliumand the Tiber runs the northern stretch of the Cardo Maximus. The street is agrand avenue, very wide, and flanked on both sides by porticoes. An importantpoint of arrival and departure for sea-faring passengers was presumably locatedat the spot where the Cardo met the Tiber. We may imagine the departure andarrival on this spot of Emperors and many officials. Those arriving in Ostia wouldenter the city via the Cardo, to be confronted with the impressive back wall ofthe Capitolium. After skirting the temple (something only pedestrians could do)they entered an open space: the Forum. It is a well-known architectural effect.
