The Temple of Jupiter
Ā Ā 
The temple of Jupiter was a temple in Roman Pompeii, it was buried by the Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and discovered during the archaeological excavation of the ancient Pompeii. The temple of Jupiter was built around 250 B.C. and it was initially dedicated to Jupiter and it became soon the main temple of Pompeii. After the city was conquered by Lucio Cornelio Silla, the temple was dedicated to the entire Capitoline Triad, so called Capitolium, to honor not only Jupiter but also Juno and Minerva. The temple of Jupiter was situated at the north end of the Forum, it was pure āItalic styleā, which sat atop a base, it was built with small stones of tuff and lava, decorated with half columns and empty inside; the entrance was along the East side: this zone is divided in three vaulted aisles and the walls are built in opus incertum; the three chambers, called favissa, were used as storage or to store the treasury of the city. The stairs along the temple have a particular design: the temple had two narrow flights of stairs, one on either side of a large central dais where a wider stairs led to the altar stood; at the side of the stairs there were two equestrian statues, as a painting shows in Lucio Cecilio Giocondoās house.
