The Temple of Minerva was a temple on the short side of the Forum of Nerva in Rome. It was completed by Nerva in 97 AD - who harboured a particular devotion for goddess. It was still well-preserved in the 16th century, when pope Paul V took materials from it for his fontana dell'Acqua Paola on the Janiculum Hill and for the Borghese chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore.
