    That is a good video with nice images of what is still there. Here is a small coin of DIVVS ROMVLVS.

    RomulusQuartTemple.jpg

    Romulus, d. 309, coin struck c. 310. Deep green patina.
    16 mm. 2.12 grams.
    DIVI ROMVLO N V BIS CONS
    AETERNAE MEMORIAE, Domed shrine with doors ajar, eagle on top.
    RIC VI Rome 239

    That shrine may be the one in the video.

    Seeing as we are still discussing him after 1700 years, the "eternal memory" seems to be well on its way to happening.

    Great video galba68, I remember this place well as we walked the appian way to get there, another place recommended to visit as the crowds are nowhere near as bad there, and 10 minutes up the road is
