The Temple of Peace (AKA Forum of Peace) was built by Vespasian. It was built with the spoils of the Jewish War after the fall of Jerusalem in 71 AD. The temple was dedicated in 75 AD, and it was one of the most impressive monuments in the city. It was located north of the Basilica Aemilia that was in an area of the city that hadn't recovered from the great fire of 64 AD. The forum included a plaza with garden, a temple, and a library, within which were placed many of the treasures from Jerusalem. Vespasian brought multitudes of important works of art from all of Rome to the temple. He made the collection available for the enjoyment of the public.
