Recommended Posts

IMG_0774.jpeg.6352d6b26d49ecf703dd92042e5ed437.jpegRoman temple ruins from the first century BCE in the Italian city of Sarsina in Northern Italy, close to the Tuscan border. Researchers believe they have found a capitolium.

According to Wikipedia, a capitolium was a Roman temple dedicated to the Capitoline Triad of gods (Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva). It would have a separate chamber dedicated to each god.

Capitolia were built in a prominent area in many cities in Italy and in the Roman provinces, especially during the Augustan and Julio-Claudian periods.
