"The name "Temple of Hadrian" is not entirely accurate: it is more a monument than a temple."

The temple was probably built from stone, brick and (Roman) concrete, covered with marble plates, and with marble columns. It was restored a few times.

"Some columns of the temple are made of cipollino, a marble Hadrian liked very much and which was used throughout the empire in many monuments of the IInd century. "

"The curved arch of the pediment carries the bust of the Victory Goddess Tyche. This structure, laced with marble, blends beautifully with the marble roadway running before it. "

"The roof of the cella was originally stone vaulting, similar to the roof of the Temple of Serapis."
