confusion of chronology
[edit]Uhm.....how can the temple have been destroyed by fire during the time of Claudius....and another temple planned by Ceasar. Ceasr died before Claudius was born.
I believe this is being confused with the destruction of the Curia Cornelia when it was destroyed during riots at the funeral of Publius Clodius Pulcher in 52 BC. The Curia was rebuilt on a larger scale and loomed over the Rostra according to Cicero. Later Julius Caesar converted the curia into the Temple of Felicitas and may have torn down all but the back portion that was used as the temple itself, as the Curia Cornelia's last location would have blocked the entrance to the forum of Ceasar. In fact, some historian say that even the temple would have been blocking Caesars forum and therefore believe the entire structure only stood untill the Curia Julia was completed.--Amadscientist (talk) 00:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
