Temples of Cybele in Rome - Sacra Via

Sacra Via

A tholos, adorned with frescoes, at the top of the Sacra via, where the clivus Palatinus branched off to the south. Its approximate site is also probably indicated by the Haterii relief on which, to the immediate left of the arch of Titus, is a statue of the Magna Mater seated under an arch at the top of a flight of thirteen steps.

A passage in Cass. Dio is generally supposed to refer to this temple.
