This chapter analyzes the way urban shrines in Rome from the Early Republic to the Empire evolved into a paradigmatic building form and helped shape the urban spaces around them, forming a common religious bond between the Roman population and its rulers. During the second century BCE, after the Punic Wars against Carthage and the conquering of Macedonia, Greece, and Syria, the Hellenistic architecture of these areas began to have a profound effect on Roman architecture, while the immediate influence of the Capitoline Temple waned. The change from the dominance of the Ionic to the Corinthian order came about fairly quickly, within the first few decades of the first century BCE. Rome's urban development and temple building in fact increased dramatically during the time of Augustus.
