BAR S2343 2012: Templi capitolini nella Regio I (Latium et Campania) by Maria Milvia Morciano. ISBN 9781407309262. £25.00. iv+115 pages; illustrated throughout; in Italian with English abstract.
In this work the cult of the Capitoline Triad is
examined from a viewpoint that varies from the traditionally public and
official one.
A review of its archaeological and epigraphic sources
shows how the devotion to the three divinities also permeated the
private sphere of individuals in addition to the public or collective
events. Although the Capitoline cult lost its pre-eminence during the
Imperial age, it remained a clear symbol of tradition, adopted to
reassert identity or to display self-satisfaction and power.
