IUNO SOSPITA (2)
a temple which stood on the Palatine, if the traditional
reading of Ovid (Fast. ii. 55-59) be preserved:
Principio mensis Phrygiae contermina Matris
Sospita delubris dicitur aucta novis.
Nunc ubi sint illis quae sunt sacrata Kalendis
Templa deae ? longa procubuere die.
Nothing further is known of such a temple, and there is some difficulty
in explaining why a cult from Lanuvium was admitted within the
pomerium at a fairly early date. Ovid may have confused the Magna
Mater with the MATER MATUTA (q.v.), and may be referring in this passage
to luno Sospita in the forum Holitorium. If this be so, however, that
temple could hardly have been restored in 90 B.C., or be that of which the
ruins are beneath S. Nicola in Carcere, if it had vanished so completely
in Ovid's time (WR 188; BC 1914, 97; Rosch. ii. 596; HJ 46: Gilb.
i. 229; iii. 430).
