Capitoline Triad

The Capitoline Triad was a shrine in ancient Rome dedicated to three principal deities: Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. This grouping of three gods in one temple was an Etruscan tradition, though the specific combination of these Roman deities was influenced by Greek ideas. Jupiter was the chief Roman god, associated with the sky and often called "Light-Bringer". Juno was a high goddess who supervised women's lives, and Minerva was associated with craftsmen and industry.12

The temple dedicated to the Capitoline Triad was located on the Capitoline Hill in Rome and was considered the most important Roman cult center during the Republic. It was believed to have been completed around 509 or 507 BCE. This temple was a significant site where victorious generals would offer thanks and where the Roman Senate held its first meeting of the year.231
