guy Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Roman 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. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitolium https://edition.cnn.com/style/ancient-roman-temple-sarsina-supermarket-scn/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
