Roman Temples were usually associated with the Greek temple because the Roman period of architecture has developed most of the main factors and techniques that the Greeks have invented.

Ancient Roman temples are among the most visible archaeological remains of Roman culture, and are a significant source for Roman architecture. The reason to their construction was the Roman believe in the Roman and Greek Gods. The cella housed the cult where the Roman citizens used to do their religious practises. Behind the cella was a room or rooms used by temple attendants for storage of equipment and offerings.

The English word "temple" derives from Latin templum, which was originally not the building itself, but a sacred space surveyed and plotted ritually.
