Notes:
- [Provenance Notes] This structure was originally built in the archaic period, as was the adjacent Temple of Vesta. It was often rebuilt because of fires. The last occasion was during the reign of L. Septimius Severus (193-211 CE). Six priestesses dwelt herein and tended the sacred fire of Vesta, goddess of the Hearth.
