During the [[Roman Republic|Republic]], a temple to "ancient Hope" ({{lang|la|Spes vetus}}) was supposed to have been located near the [[Porta Praenestina|Praenestine Gate]].<ref>[[Frontinus]], ''[[De aquaeductu]]'' 1.19.</ref>{{sfnp|Momigliano|1987|p=75}} It was associated with events that occurred in the 5th century BC,<ref>[[Livy]] 2.51.2; [[Dionysius of Halicarnassus]] 9.24.4.</ref>{{sfnp|Momigliano|1987|p=75}} but its existence as anything except perhaps a private shrine has been doubted.<ref>Fears, "The Cult of Virtues," p. 848.</ref>

A well-documented [[Temple of Spes (Carmental)|Temple of Spes]] was built by [[Aulus Atilius Calatinus]]<ref>[[Cicero]], ''[[De Legibus|De legibus]]'' 2.28.</ref>{{sfnp|Momigliano|1987|p=75}} along with [[Fides (goddess)|Fides]], as the result of vows ({{lang|la|[[votum|vota]]}}) made to these goddesses during the [[First Punic War]].<ref>Fears, "The Cult of Virtues," p. 835.</ref> This was built at the vegetable market ({{lang|la|[[Forum Olitorium]]}})<ref>{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Spes |short=x}}</ref> just outside the [[Carmental Gate]]. It was twice burnt down and restored, first in 213 BC and then again in AD 7.{{sfnp|Burn|1871|p=305}}

At [[Capua]] in 110 BC, a temple was built to the triad of Spes, [[Fides (goddess)|Fides]], and [[Fortuna]].<ref>''[[Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae]]'' 3770.</ref>{{sfnp|Momigliano|1987|p=75}}
