Temple of Jupiter Stator, Roman temple at the foot of Palatine Hill, Italy

The Temple of Jupiter Stator stood near the Sacred Way with six columns on the short sides and eleven columns on the long sides.

Romulus established the temple after a crucial battle against the Sabines in the 8th century BC, marking a victory through divine intervention.

The Senate gathered at this temple in 63 BC to hear Cicero deliver the first Catiline Oration against a conspiracy threatening Rome.

Archaeologists discovered the temple ruins beneath the current Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli, near Via della Tribuna di Campitelli.

The temple featured decorative elements of a lizard and frog, leading to tales about architects named Saurus and Batrachus from Sparta.
