The Temple of the Sun was a temple in the Campus Agrippae in Rome. It was dedicated to Sol Invictus on December 25, 274,^[1] by the emperor Aurelian^[2] and funded by spoils from his campaign against Palmyra. It was the fourth temple dedicated to him in Rome – the other three were in the Circus Maximus, on the Quirinal and in Trastevere.^[3] If still in use by the 4th-century, it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire. ^[4]
