==== Temple of Capitoline Jupiter ==== {{main|Temple of Jupiter (Capitoline Hill)}} The [[Temple of Jupiter (Capitoline Hill)|Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus]] stood on the [[Capitoline Hill]] in Rome.{{sfnp|Dumézil|1977|pp=258–261}} Jupiter was worshiped there as an individual deity, and with [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]] and [[Minerva]] as part of the [[Capitoline Triad]]. The building was supposedly begun by king [[Tarquinius Priscus]], completed by the last king ([[Tarquinius Superbus]]) and inaugurated in the early days of the Roman Republic (13 September 509 BC). It was topped with the statues of four horses drawing a [[quadriga]], with Jupiter as charioteer. A large statue of Jupiter stood within; on festival days, its face was painted red.<!-- Need section on images, probably above or below this --><ref>[[Ovid]], ''Fasti'' I, 201f.</ref> In (or near) this temple was the ''Iuppiter Lapis'': the [[Jupiter Stone]], on which oaths could be sworn. Jupiter's Capitoline Temple probably served as the architectural model for his provincial temples. When Hadrian built [[Aelia Capitolina]] on the site of [[Jerusalem]], a temple to Jupiter Capitolinus was erected in the place of the destroyed [[Temple in Jerusalem]].<!-- Permanent military shrine to Jupiter known as Capitolium (one case only) -->
