Built between 25 and 27 B.C. by the consul Agrippa, Prefect of the Emperor Augustus, the present building is the result of subsequent, heavy restructuring. Domitian, in 80 A.D., rebuilt it after a fire; thirty years later it was hit by lightening and caught fire again.

The original structure was constructed between 27 and 25 BC by Marcus Agrippa to celebrate Augustus and was then dedicated to the main deities of the Julio-Claudian family.
