Italy, Rome, Temple of Juno Sospita (San Nicola church) (00:01:06)

$40.00

This temple to Juno the Savior (“Sospita”) was vowed in 197 B.C. by the consul C. Cornelius Cethegus during a war, and dedicated on February 1, 194 B.C.. The senate had it rebuilt in 90 B.C. when it was reported that Caecilia, the daughter of a censor, dreamt that it had been defiled. Located in the Forum Holitorium, it is identified with the central of the three temples that stood side by side on the site of the present church of S. Nicola in Carcere. The other two are the temples of Spes and Janus.
