Era probablemente uno de los edificios más majestuosos de la ciudad romana de Emerita Augusta. A pesar de su nombre, el templo estaba dedicado al culto a Roma y al emperadores. Este templo del siglo I pertenece al conjunto arqueológico romano de Mérida, declarado patrimonio histórico por la UNESCO.

Tiene una planta rectangular, rodeado de columnas (períptero) y un hexástilo (con seis columnas en el frente). Los capiteles de las columnas son de Corinto, con un eje acanalado y hechos de granito. Junto al templo existía, probablemente, un jardín con un estanque en la época romana.
