Funerary  Temple
In fact the funerary temple is not a temple at all - simply a tomb built in the style of a prostyle (ie columns along the front only) temple, with a crypt below. Nothing is known about whom it was built for though given its scale and its position at the end of the cardo maximus, it must have been somebody important.
