Juno Monetas tempel

Juno Monetas tempel högst upp till höger. A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library (1905).

Juno Monetas tempel var en helgedom i det antika Rom, tillägnad gudinnan Juno.[1] Det grundades år 344 f.Kr. Det var ett av flera tempel i Rom tillägnade Juno, men också ett av de viktigaste och mest välkända templen i det antika Rom.

Historia

Templet uppfördes sedan Lucius Furius Camillus år 345 f.Kr. hade avgivit ett löfte att uppföra ett tempel åt Juno om han fick gudarnas stöd inför ett avgörande slag i kriget mot aurunkerna, och sedan segrade i denna konflikt. Förteckningen över Roms konsuler, Libri Lintei, förvarades i templet. Från år 273 f.Kr. var också Roms myntverk inhyst på dess område, och Juno Moneta blev då skyddsgudinna för mynt och statens finanser, därav namnet mynt. Namnet Juno Moneta blev Junos tillnamn i denna egenskap, men Moneta hade ursprungligen stått för en lokal latinsk gudinna, som hade dyrkats strax utanför staden och sedan slogs ihop med Juno, då templet uppfördes i staden.

Templet är associerat med legenden om Junos heliga gäss, som 390 f.Kr. ska ha varnat Marcus Manlius Capitolinus inför kelternas anfall, men detta tempel var då ännu inte uppfört. Det fanns dock flera andra Junotempel i Rom, bland annat Juno Sospitas tempel.

The Vitellians everywhere gave way before theIllyrians, and in the narrow streets the massacre continued till after-noon. When at last the citadel was stormed and the guard of Vitelliusbutchered, Vitelhus himself was discovered on the Palatine, and putto death. Nearly 50,000 men fell on that day.

The leaders declared for Vespasian, but the soldiers,though acquiescing, were bitterly discontented, and their mutin(uis temperweakened the army, while Civilis, throwing off the mask, continued thecontest with increased energy, and was successful iu persuading the BelgianCelts to desert Rome. Under these circumstances the war continued fora long time around Vetera, which Civilis again blockaded in the beginningof A.D. 70, while Vocula, after the mutinous lioman relieving armymurdered its general, the old Hordeouius Flaccus, at Novaesium, wascompelled to retire to Mayence.
