 If still in use by the 4th-century, the temple would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire.Under Byzantine rule, the temple was converted into a church, accounting for its survival to modern times, and was later used as a granary.In the 16th century, Andrea Palladio included the description of the temple in his "I quattro libri dell'architettura", a highly influential book on the principles of Classical architecture.
