The Temple of Juno Sospita ("Savior") was an ancient Roman temple on the Palatine Hill in Rome, possibly dating from as early as 338 BC.[1]
It was probably a term for a small shrine adjoining the Temple of the Magna Mater (recorded by Ovid),[2] parts of which remain in Augustan-era opus reticulatum, although most of the remains belong to a Hadrianic restoration.
A minority interpretation is that 'Temple of Juno Sospita' was another term for the Temple of the Magna Mater's auguraculum.
