At least, the Lanciani picture provided clearly identifies the northern temple as that of Hope (Spes), the central temple as Piety (Pietas), and the southern temple as Juno Sospita. There were plenty of buildings around the Theater of Marcellus, so what is the basis for thinking Lanciani was completely mistaken here? — LlywelynII 03:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These "sources" were listed at the bottom but were entirely unused by the article:

• Bandinelli, Ranuccio Bianchi; et al. (2008), L'Arte dell'Antichità Classica, Etruria–Roma (in French), Novara{{citation}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link).
• Coarelli, Filippo (1975), Guida Archeologica di Roma (in Italian), Verona: Arnoldo Mondadori Editore.
• Lanciani, Rodolfo (1985), Rovine e Scavi di Roma Antica (in Italian), Rome: Quasar.

Since that creates a false appearance of scholarship, I've moved them here. Kindly restore them only once they're being used to source some of the information in the article. — LlywelynII 12:51, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
