description | The article is devoted to the ideological context underlying the construction of the temple of goddess Victoria on the Palatine at the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd century B.C. Following written and numismatic sources, sociology of memory, as well as the latest archaeological digs, it is proposed to see the main reason for the construction of the Victoria temple in the desire of Rome’s élite to create a new conscience of collective destiny in Roman society. In this context, the new Victoria temple was meant to become one of the main vectors of the perception of Roman collective destiny.
