Re-title
"Temple of the Deified Hadrian" or "Temple of Divus Hadrianus" would be more in line with the technical literature, not to mention more precise. I came to this article thinking this was a temple built by Hadrian, only to find that it refers to the temple that Antoninus built to deify his deceased predecessor. I would change it myself, but I'm new here & don't know how. ZoomaBaresAll (talk) 02:18, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * "of" meaning "dedicated to" rather than "built by" is standard usage in classics I'm afraid - see Temple of Vespasian and Titus (both of whose subjects are deified) - and that it was "to" rather than "built by" Hadrian is made clear by the opening sentence. So I don't think it should move. Neddyseagoon - talk 08:14, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Number of columns
The article says there were 15 columns on each long side but the reconstruction seems to be showing 13. Is the article in error or the reconstruction? There is no given reference to how many columns the Temple had in either case.

 * Quick point: I would add 145 CE for the date, since the general public may not know which century Hadrian belongs to!
 * What led to the misidentification as the Temple of Neptune? Or, rather, what evidence led to the correction?
 * There is a lot of information in parentheses, but I think you potentially could turn them into fuller sentences or footnotes.
 * Hadrian's less warlike policy than his predecessors - wording is a bit awkward.
 * References need more work, but I'm sure you're working on it!
 * I feel like there are too many pictures for the amount of content; there is a lot of blank space at the end of the page.
