Temple of Spes (Quirinal)

The Temple of Spes was a sanctuary in Ancient Rome dedicated to the goddess Spes.[1] The temple was situated on the Quirinal Hill by the Vicus Longus alongside the temples of Febris and Fortuna Euelpis.[2] If still in use by the 4th-century, it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire.
