TEMPLUM IOVIS

At the top of the acropolis, where the “Rione Terra” stands today, the temple was constructed with the development of the Roman colony; at the time of Augustus it was completely rebuilt; almost certainly by the architect, Lucio Aucto; the original structure was used  again as a Christian basilica and in 1643 it was absorbed in the construction of the new cathedral, from which it reappeared, after a devastating fire in 1964.
