The marble cladding of the cella was scavenged. The deep grooves in the temple's columns are supposed to date to a medieval attempt to dismantle the pillared portico, either for spolia or to destroy the pagan temple. Also in the Middle Ages, a staircase was built on the side facing the Forum, but it is now impossible to enter from that side because there is a gap of circa 6m (20 ft) between the foot of the steps and the bronze door. Before the archeological excavations, the ground level was at this door. Excavations in front of the temple were undertaken in 1546, again in 1810, and at intervals from 1876.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Caesar's Ghost Numismatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12628108443706,"sku":"","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/3698\/2586\/products\/57_be8bb6d9-5aff-4545-bd0e-e575eccb622b.jpg?v=1597439741"},{"product_id":"98-99-ngc-ch-xf-trajan-denarius-pax-early-nerva-portrait-style-17082304cz","title":"98\/99 NGC Ch XF Trajan Denarius Pax Early Nerva Portrait Style (17082304CZ)","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoman Empire Trajan denarius with early Nerva style portrait, minted 98\/99 CE, RSC 292, RIC 17, 3.11g.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertified authentic by NGC to Ch XF, Strike 4\/5, Surface 2\/5.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaureate head right, IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePax standing left holding olive branch and cornucopia, PONT MAX TR POT COS II.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEx.
