The Temple of Jupiter Stator (Jupiter the Stayer) was a temple of ancient Rome, located in the area of the Roman Forum. ==History== The temple was first founded by Romulus after a battle in the Forum area between Romulus and the Sabines. During that battle the Romans were forced to retreat up hill on the Via Sacra. However, at the Porta Mugonia, Romulus prayed to Jupiter, vowing him a temple should he stem the Sabine advance. The Romans managed to regroup and hold their ground against the Sabines, who were eventually defeated. On that spot Romulus founded the temple, probably near or just outside the Porta. This sanctuary was most likely not an aedes but only an altar enclosed by a low wall or fence. In 294 BC Marcus Atilius Regulus made a similar vow in a similar situation, when the Romans were losing a battle against the Samnites, but then miraculously turned around, regrouped and held their ground against the enemy. On November 8, 63 BC, it was in this temple that the senate convened to hear the consul M. Tullius Cicero deliver his famous first oration against Catiline. The temple was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome during Nero's reign in July of the year 64. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Temple of Jupiter Stator (8th century BC)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
