Speculative rendering of the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, the oldest and most important large temple in Rome. Built in 509 BC in an Etruscan-influenced style, destroyed by fire in 83 BC
I love to see art and renderings that reconstruct lost buildings or places from antiquity (and other eras). It would be so cool if this most important of Roman temples could be reconstructed for real in another location, like a large public park.

Yeah, that sends the message you are trying to send. It would blow any normal person’s mind to see it.

Just to think, to the people living 100 years before Jesus’ time, this building was already old history. Really amazing

You can clearly see how the understanding of building technology is still deeply rooted in timber construction.

So, a completely made-up modern imagining of the temple. Yippee.
