Architecture: Roman

The original Temple of Saturn was built in the Forum around 497 BC. From the beginning, it served as the treasury of the Roman state as well as a temple. The treasure may have been housed in the substructure beneath the temple steps, which can be seen today.

It is hard to image what the temple's full structure would have been looked like, but again it doesn't seem to stand out to me. Much like the rest of the Ancient Roman structures, it consists Tuscan columns on the periemter and very open space on the inside. Does not sperate itself from the rest i believe.
