[[Aedes Fortunae Huiusce Diei]], (Fortune of This Day), a circular temple with six columns remaining, was built by Quintus Lutatius Catulus in 101 BCE to celebrate his victory over Cimbri. The colossal statue found during excavations and now kept in the Capitoline Museums was the statue of the goddess herself. Only the head, the arms, and the legs were of marble: the other parts, covered by the dress, were of bronze.
