# Vespasian dedicates the Temple of Peace complex in Rome around 75 CE

Date: 75

## The fact

Around 75 CE Vespasian’s Temple of Peace (Templum Pacis) was dedicated as a dated forum-temple complex displaying spoils and libraries. It is not the Colosseum initiation as a twin and not a modern UN plaza.

It is one event.

## Context

Architecture after civil war is cohesion theatre. Britannica and Fordham’s Suetonius sourcebook independently place the Peace temple under Vespasian. Judaean spoils displays keep the conquest link honest.

[Vespasian](/people/vespasian)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Conventional years are 9–79 CE. Surviving public files are Suetonius, Tacitus, Josephus, coins, and encyclopedias. Vespasian did not typeset LacusCurtius. Later museums are evidence, not acts. Suetonian jokes are not automatic Facts.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica and Fordham’s Suetonius Vespasian page independently describe the Temple of Peace under Vespasian.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Vespasian (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Vespasian; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

[Social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) path via public building. High confidence on the complex.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Templum Pacis belongs to Vespasian’s building programme around 75. Not established: that civil hatred ended.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Vespasian.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `social-cohesion` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Vespasian did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Temple of Peace is not the amphitheatre. Keep 75 off the Colosseum initiation row. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Vespasian.
