A plan of the Temple of Fortuna Primigenia was an ancient Roman temple within the sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia, a religious complex in Praeneste (now Palestrina, 35 km (22 mi) east of Rome). It was founded in 204 BC by Publius Sempronius Tuditanus and dedicated to the goddess Fortuna Primigenia, the exact meaning of whose name is unclear. Parents brought their newly-born first child to the temple in order to improve its likelihood of surviving infancy and perpetuating the gens.
