Notes
The temple is clearly intended as a public building since its two benefactors built it ob amorem patriae et c[ivium, but the prominence with which both proclaim their standing as praefecti et patroni collegi(i) fabror(um) provides such a strong link that we must assume the guild could make use of the temple.
