No temple was more sacred to the Romans than that of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline. By tradition it had stood there since the early 6th Century B.C., and in its four incarnations it remained in use for a millennium or more. It underwent numerous modifications, was damaged by lightening on more than one occasion, and was burned to the ground three times: first in 83 B.C., then in A.D. 69 and 80; and each time its reconstruction was an important undertaking. (NAC 40, 2007, 683 note). This issue depicts the façade of the temple after its first reconstruction.
