Lares Permarini

Lares Permarini was a Roman temple (aedes), of the Lares who protect sailors, in the campus Martius.

It was vowed by the praetor, L. Aemilius Regillus, while engaged in a naval battle with the fleet of Antiochus the Great in 190 B.C., and dedicated by M. Aemilius Lepidus, when censor, on 22 December, 179.[1] On the doors of the temple was a dedicatory inscription in Saturnian metre.[2]

The temple stood in porticu Minucia[3] and therefore its exact site depends on that of the porticus.[4][5]
