About
This nymphaeum is believed to be the remains of the lost Temple of Minerva.
The Temple of Minerva Medica once stood on the Esquiline Hill in Rome. It was mentioned by Cicero and several other sources, but eventually became lost at some point. However, a ruined 4th-century nymphaeum building, consecrated to the mythical nymphs and connected to the water supply, is still on the Roman map. Except it's not really the Temple of Minerva Medica—but that's what people call it because that's the name that shows up on the map. No ancient literature or inscriptions mention it in any way.
