Browsing by UNESCO status lets a visitor see which sacred sites carry that international recognition and which do not.FactsLearn MoreInscribed on the World Heritage ListSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedTemples, altars and precincts of Roman public cult, in which religion was a civic and legal act performed by magistrates on the state's behalf and correctness of procedure mattered more than inward belief. Roman cult travelled with the empire and absorbed local gods by identifying them with its own rather than by replacing them. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedSacred Sites 1Learn MoreSacred sites of ancient Rome This group holds the sacred sites of ancient Roman religion, the temples, altars and sacred precincts of the Roman state cult and its many gods. Roman sacred architecture spread across the empire, from the temples of the Capitol to provincial sanctuaries. The browser will find the temples and religious monuments of the Roman world.
