A
temple devoted to a female divinity,
of the III century B.C., has come
to light during the last excavations in the south western front in Pompeii.
The
temple, with porticos and cisterns, is an unexpected religious
building of Sumnite age and reveals a Pompeian society pre-Roman
corresponding not to a small village
but to a real city. In the temple,
hypothesizes to be devoted to the ancient Mefite,
Sumnite version of Venus, has been
recovered votive material.
