The [Temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/) of Divus [Antoninus Pius](https://www.worldhistory.org/Antoninus_Pius/) and Diva Faustina is an ancient [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) temple in [Rome](https://www.worldhistory.org/Rome/), adapted to the 17th century church of San Lorenzo in Miranda. It stands in the [Forum Romanum](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Forum/), on the Via Sacra. The temple was begun in 141 CE by Antoninus Pius and was initially dedicated to his deceased and deified wife, Faustina the Elder. When Antoninus Pius was deified after his [death](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Death/) in 161 CE, the temple was re-dedicated jointly to Antoninus and Faustina as witnessed by the inscription on the surviving architrave: Divo Antonio et Divae Faustinae ex S\[enatus\] C\[onsulto\].
