Temple of Veiovis, Roman temple on Capitoline Hill, Italy
The Temple of Veiovis features an elongated cella structure with a width nearly double its depth, measuring 15 by 8.90 meters.
The temple was vowed in 200 BC by Lucius Furius Purpurio during the Battle of Cremona and received dedication in 192 BC by Quintus Marcius Ralla.
Ancient Romans dedicated this temple to Veiovis, a deity associated with healing and protection, and placed a goat statue next to his representation.
Visitors can find the temple remains beneath the Palazzo Senatorio, which preserved the structure by being built directly over it.
The temple's position between two sacred groves on Capitoline Hill marked the location of the Asylum, where Romulus offered protection to regional fugitives.
