This is a temple located in Rome, Villa Borghese, it is a greek type temple, but made by Romans on a isle in the middle of a little lake ^^

The writing on the temple is the one I reported as the title "Asclepius temple", Aslepius was the god of medicine and healing in ancient greek mithology, in Roman mithology he was called Aesculapius.

What a wonderful shot. Have you been to Greece as well? I'm working on getting funds together for a trip to Rome.
if you do make it there, be sure to check out the Asclepeon at Epidaurus :)
