Temple of Juno Moneta

Description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Juno_Moneta

Descripcion foto: The Temple of Juno Moneta was located at the center of the city of Rome, next to the place where Roman coins were first minted, and probably stored the metal and coins involved in this process, as well as where the books of the magistrates were deposited. Juno Moneta was regarded as the protectress of the city's funds. If still in use by the 4th century, it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire. According to legend, it was here that the Roman sibyl foretold the coming of Christ to the emperor Augustus, who was granted a heavenly vision of the Virgin Mary standing on an altar holding the Christ child. Augustus supposedly built an altar on the spot – the altar of heaven or ara coeli – and the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli rose around it.
