republic. The central and largest is Ionic, that on the north is next in size and also Ionic, while that on the south is smallest and Doric. The second, on the north, is generally assumed to be the temple of Janus. It is dated by Frank to about 90 B.C. It is hexastyle, peripteral except at the back, and six of its columns, 0.70 metre in diameter, are still standing, built into the wall of the church. The temple in the middle is assigned to Spes, and the smallest to Iuno Sospita (HJ 507-514; Mise that the central temple was fitted in the space between two smaller temples already in existence. In pursuance of this theory, Frank assigns the southern temple in its present form to a restoration of 31 B.C. The central temple he dates about 90 B.C. See Gott. Gel. Anz. 1903, 556; 1904, 56 ; Delbrick, Hellenistische Bauten, ii. 43; RE Suppl. iii. 1183; and cf. PORTA CARMENTALIS. For restorations, see D'Esp. Mon. ii. 128-129.

um, Cicero): a temple vowed in 197 B.C. by the consul C. Cornelius Cethegus during the Insubrian war (Liv. xxxii. 30. 10), and dedicated in 194 Here it is referred to under the name Iuno Mlatuta: Sigonius reads 'sospitae.' Hiilsen says that it was dedicated four years later, i.e. in 93 : but the Latin is post quadrennium (AJP 1907, 328; WR cit. agrees). (Liv. xxxiv. 53. 3) on 1st February (Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 86). It is said (Cic. de Div. i. 4. 99; Obseq. 75) that L. Julius, consul in 90 B.C., restored a temple of luno Sospita, in consequence of a dream of Caecilia, the daughter of Q. Caecilius Metellus Balearicus, and it is probable that it is this temple of Iuno Sospita in Rome that is meant rather than the more famous one at Lanuvium (HJ 509-510; Gilb. iii. 82, 430; WR 188; Rosch. ii. 596). It was in the forum Holitorium, and is generally identified with the smallest of the three temples (though Frank prefers the central one-TF 126-130) that lie side by side beneath the prese

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).

after the battle of Lake Regillus in 496 B.C. (Ov. Fasti i. 706; Dionys. vi. 13 ; LA 225, 226; Neue Jahrb. 1902, 370-388). Because of this appearance the temple of CASTOR AND POLLUX (q.v.) was built on the west side of the spring. The same divinities were also said to have appeared on the same spot after the victory of Pydna in 168 B.C. (Flor. i. 28. 15 ; Val. Max. i. 8. I). The spring, in the shape of a puteal, with Castor and Pollux, is represented on coins of the gens Postumia, of about 90 B.C. (Babelon ii. 379, Nos. 5-6; BM. Rep. ii. 310, 718-723). The water nymph Juturna belonged properly to the river Numicius, but was brought to Rome, and became the tutelary deity of those ' qui artificium aqua exercent' (Serv. Aen. xii. 139), and her name was derived from 'iuvare quia laborantes iuvare consuevit' (ib.; Varro, LL v. 71; Neue Jahrb. cit. 383; cf. IUTURNA TEMPLUM), or from Diuturna (the eternal) (Cic. Pro Cluent. 101; Carcopino, Virgile et les Origines d'Ostie, 115, 480). The wat
