		Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus on Capitoline Hill, 6th thru 1st century B.C. The Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus ("Jupiter, greatest and best"; also known as the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus), was the great temple on the Capitol.
		The temple was dedicated in 509 B.C. to Jupiter and his companion deities, Juno and Minerva, the Capitoline Triad.
		The new temple of Quintus Lutatius Catulus was renovated and repaired by Augustus; it was burnt down during the course of fighting on the hill in AD 69, when Vespasian battled to enter the city as Emperor.

		The lesser temple was built in honor of Bacchus (not the Sun, as formerly believed).

		So called by the antiquaries of the past centuries, it was probably consecrated to Demetra and was built in the V century B.C. on the highest point of the acropolis.
		Turned into basilica and consecrated to St. Massimo, the temple gave hospitality to various sepulchres and remained open to cult till 1207, the year in which the city was destroyed.
		According to a recent reconstruction, it seems that the temple was pseudo-peripteral (with semi columns on two or three sides of the cell) and surrounded by arcades with pillars which divided it into five aisles.

		The Temple of Jupiter was severely damaged during the earthquake of 62 A.D. It had not been fully rebuilt when the city was buried by the volcano in 79 A.D. It's unlikely that public taxes were used to support the sites of worship.

	CAMWS 2003: John A. Stevens
		Cicero suggests several stages that anyone approaching a temple would observe: first the view from below; then the view from the podium to the door; the view of the interior; and finally of the cult statue of the deity.
		Cicero's depiction of Aemilianus' psychic progress as a physcial entry into the Temple of Jupiter also corresponds to his larger purposes: to situate the morality tale in familiar Roman imagery.
		And, most importantly, the life of the soul in the spiritual Temple of Jupiter far surpasses the life of man in the earthly city.

		At Heliopolis the Roman emperors, particularly the Severans, constructed a monumental temple complex, the most spectacular elements of which were the Temple of Jupiter Heliopolitanus and the Temple of Bacchus.

		During Egypt's 12th dynasty (1938-1756 BC), Byblos again became an Egyptian dependency, and the chief goddess of the city, Baalat ("The Mistress"), with her well-known temple at Byblos, was worshiped in Egypt.

	Jupiter's Temple, Baalbek, Lebanon
		Indeed, it has been noted that the blocks in the retaining wall of the Baalbek temple site clearly look a lot more eroded than the bona fide Roman ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, as well as those of the other two Roman temples also on the site.
		Orthodox scholars of today scoff at all suggestions that Romans had not brought the great blocks to the temple site, despite the fact that building with megalithic blocks was not at all in the Roman style, and was no longer practiced in those days.
		In the details below, we can see that whoever had added the smaller blocks (presumably also limestone, and coming from the same quarry, the nearest one to the temple), had made adjustments for erosion in the old ruin, which are visible as steps, or notches in the elsewhere straight line of the newer blocks.

	Roman Temple of Jupiter, Terracina \| Italy Heaven
		Later a medieval monastery was constructed over the temple remains, and a church dedicated to S. Michele Arcangelo (St. Michael) was established within the smaller temple.
		The ruined walls of several small rooms are all that remain of the monastery, which was abandoned by the end of the sixteenth century.
		The main road winds back inland towards the town cemetery; the temple access road leads off to the right, and is pleasantly quiet as it curves up through flower-strewn olive groves.

		Tacitus: Rebuilding the Temple of Jupiter, 70 CE In 70 CE Vespasian ordered the restoration of the Temple of Jupiter the Best and Greatest on the Capitoline Hill.
		The soothsayers whom he assembled directed that the remains of the old shrine should be removed to the marshes, and the new temple raised on the original site.
		Additional height was given to the structure; this was the only variation which religion would permit, and the one feature which had been thought wanting in the splendour of the old temple.
