Capitoline Triassic

Capitoline Triassic ( Palestrina )

The Capitoline Triassic describes the trinity of the Roman gods Jupiter , Juno and Minerva , the most important deities of the Romans. A sanctuary of this Triassic is called the Capitolium . In such a temple three rooms ( cellae ) were each assigned to one of the three deities and provided with a corresponding cult image. Such sanctuaries existed in several cities of the Roman Empire . The most important and actual Capitolium, however, was on the Capitol Hill of Rome.

Before the Capitoline Triassic, a trinity of Jupiter, Mars and Quirinus , the so-called Archaic Triassic , was probably worshiped. There was also the equivalent of the Capitoline Triassic, whose cult was dominated by patrician priests, the Aventinian Triassic , consisting of Ceres , Liber and Libera , in whose cult and veneration the plebeians dominated.
