Roman temple capitolium found in Northern Italy

[guy]

Roman temple ruins from the first century BCE have been found in the northern Italian city of Sarsina, close to the Tuscan border. Researchers believe they have found a capitolium.

According to Wikipedia, a capitolium was a Roman temple dedicated to the Capitoline Triad of gods (Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva). It would have a separate chamber devoted to each god.

Capitolia were built in prominent areas in many cities in Italy and the Roman provinces, especially during the Augustan and Julio-Claudian periods.
