Talk:Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus

Should be merged

Why is this fragment separated from its site on the Capitoline Hill? Its fragmentary nature is underscored by the fact that Rome is not identified in the heading or in the opening sentence. There are other Temples of Jupiter... When the entry has settled down, Capitoline Triad (caps aren't required) should be merged with it. Context counts! --Wetman 04:16, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

An omission

edit

Nothing about the clavum fingere? Not only was it one of the more distinctive rituals observed in ancient Rome, some modern scholars argue that with a passage in Pliny's Natural History (33.18) the year that Horatius dedicated the temple can be fixed to 506 BC. So it is worth a mention. -- llywrch (talk) 06:38, 12 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
