The bronze door is original

This circular temple covered with a dome was made in honor of Romulus, son of Maxentius, who died and deified in the fourth century (not to be confused with the founder of Rome). The bronze door is original and is more than 1500 years old! Its preservation is good as it was integrated into the church of St. Cosmas and St. Damian.
