Funny you say that, an early name of the Capitol building was the Temple of Liberty

with its later expansion being the Temple of Faith and Justice

A fucking obelisk

In fact, the basement of the Capitol is called the Crypt

but yeah nazi germany had good aesthetic designers imo. They were dead set on being the true Rome 2.0
