<p>One of three adjacent temples preserved in the *Forum Holitorium, the Temple of Iuno Sospita is probably situated between those of *Ianus and *Spes (Livy 32.30.10: <i>aedem Sospitae Iunonis</i>; Coarelli). The well-preserved remains attest to two building phases (Crozzoli Aite): the 2nd-c. B.C. original construction, and a second phase in the 1st c. B.C., corresponding to the reconstruction by L. Iulius (Cic., <i>Div</i>. 1.4, 1.99) in 90 B.C. (Obsequens 55; Coarelli). This identification is made by process of elimination (cf. Hülsen 191): the Temples of Ianus and Spes are plausibly identified as the two temples flanking it; and the fourth known temple in the *Forum Holitorium, the Temple of Pietas, had already been destroyed by Caesar (Dio Cass. 43.49.3; Pliny, <i>NH</i> 7.121). The Temple to Iuno Sospita was vowed by C. Cornelius in 197 B.C. (Livy <i>loc. cit.</i>) and dedicated three years later (Coarelli; cf. Livy 34.53.3). It is extraordinarily well preserved due to its integration into the Church of S. Nicola in Carcere. The plan of the temple is indicated on the Severan Marble Plan (Rodríguez Almeida, <i>Forma</i> pl. 23, frags. 31 h,i).</p>
