Temple of Ceres, Liber and Libera

According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in 493 BC, the consul Sp. Cassius Vecellinus:

1. “... dedicated the temple of Ceres, Liber and Libera, which stands at the end of the Circus Maximus, being erected directly above the starting-places:
   

2. ✴A. Postumius, the dictator had vowed this temple in the name of the State when he had been on the point of engaging the army of the Latins [at Lake Regillus];
   

3. ✴after the victory, the Senate had decreed that this temple should be built entirely out of the spoils; and
   

4. ✴the work was now completed”, (‘Roman Antiquities’, 6: 94: 3).
