Temple of Juno Moneta, Roman temple on Capitoline Hill, Italy
The Temple of Juno Moneta stood on the northern summit of Capitoline Hill, serving as both a religious sanctuary and a storage facility for Rome's treasury.
Marcus Furius Camillus announced the construction of the temple in 384 BCE, and the building was dedicated in 344 BCE on the site of Manlius Capitolineus's former house.
The temple maintained sacred geese, which according to Roman tradition alerted the citizens to a Gallic invasion in 390 BCE, establishing their role as symbols of vigilance.
For four centuries, the temple functioned as Rome's primary mint, producing coins until operations moved near the Colosseum during Emperor Domitian's reign.
The temple's name 'Moneta' influenced modern financial terminology, giving rise to words like money and monetary in numerous languages.
