Temple Early Republican Roman temple on Rome's Forum

The Temple of Jupiter Stator (3rd century BC) is an ancient Roman sanctuary in the historic core of Rome, dedicated to Jupiter in his role as the ‘stayer’ of flight in battle. It belongs to Rome’s Republican-era religious architecture.
Remnants at the site are modest and fragmentary; the temple originally featured a raised platform and a frontal approach typical of Republican temples. Interest is primarily archaeological rather than monumental, so surviving traces are best appreciated within the wider context of nearby Roman ruins.

Over subsequent centuries many Republican temples were rebuilt, repurposed or fell into ruin as Rome’s urban fabric changed.
Located in central Rome, the site lies in the vicinity of the Roman Forum and the Palatine/Capitoline area within the city’s archaeological core.
