The legends about the Foro Boario indicate the market precisely in this point, on the bank of the river, as the first nucleus for the development of the city. The two temples of the Forum Boarium in Hellenistic style date from the Republican age (509-27 BC): the temple of Portunus, already mentioned - the so-called Temple of Virile Fortune, and the temple to Hercules the Victor also known as the temple of Vesta.
