Summary

Description The Temple of Jupiter dates back to the second century BC. When Pompeii became a Roman colony in 80 BC, the temple was transformed into a Capitolium dedicated to the Capitoline Triad of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. Placed upon a high podium, approximately ten feet tall with an entry staircase at the front, its axis formed the formal axis of and focal point of the Forum; it had two series of double columns dividing it longitudinally, typifying a Greek influenced Roman temple, and its back wall was veneered in marble. similarly to the Temple of Apollo, the floor of the Temple of Jupiter had a rhomboid polychrome stone pattern, arranged in imitation of perspective cubes (opus sectile). The Temple held a statue of Jupiter, constructed around 80 BC, of which only the head remains - seen here.
