The Capitoline Triad was a group of three deities; namely, Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. They were worhiped within the Capitolium, the temple on the Capitoline Hill that was devoted to this sacred Triad. Though appearing very infrequently upon Roman coinage, the Triad remained the most important religious center in the Roman world.
