The archaeological site of Tarraco in Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain, is a testament to Rome's sprawling influence. Construction began in 73 AD, under the orders of the illustrious Emperor Vespasian, and continued until the 5th century. The grand temple of Vespasian, the most imposing structure in the square, was a part of the columned ensemble. Although its exact location remains a mystery, it is believed to be the first temple dedicated to a Roman emperor who embarked on the conquest of Britain.
