The Flickr Capitolium Image Generatr

Closeup of the colossal head and torso of Jupiter Capitolinus - one of the Capitoline Triad, with Juno and Minerva - is made of white marble. However, as it was an acrolith, the bulk of the body, save the limbs, would have been made from wood (painted and/or covered in bronze or fabric clothing). The god would have been seated on a throne holding a scepter and a thunderbolt, conforming to the image of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the cult statue of the temple on the Capitoline Hill in Rome.

Remains of three colossal acrolithic statues of the Capitoline Triad: Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. They were worshipped at the main temple of Cumae, based on the model established on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, with a triple cella, one for each god.

The statue of Jupiter would have been seated on a throne holding a scepter and a thunderbolt, conforming to that of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the cult statue of the temple on the Capoline Hill. The head of Minerva wore a tight-fitting helmet from which her hair emerged underneath, as seen here (without the long-lost bronze helmet - possibly mixed with other metals like gold, silver, or copper). The iconography of this Minerva draws on the statue of Athena made by the Athenian sculptor Eubulides (2nd century BCE).

As these were acroliths, only the head and the limbs were made of marble; the remaining parts of the body were made of painted wood, or were covered in clothing.

The Temple of Jupiter, Capitolium, or Temple of the Capitoline Triad, was a temple in Roman Pompeii, at the north end of the forum. Initially dedicated to Jupiter alone, it was built in the mid-2nd century BC at the same time as the Temple of Apollo was being renovated - this was the area at which Roman influence over Pompeii increased. So Roman Jupiter superseded the Greek Apollo as the town's leading divinity. Jupiter was the ruler of the gods and the protector of Rome, where his temple was the centre of Roman religion and of the cult of state.

" À Toulouse, pas de mairie, mais un majestueux Capitole ! Édifice emblématique, il abrite l’hôtel de ville, un théâtre et des salles d’apparat où l’on croise les célébrités de la ville.
Siège du pouvoir municipal depuis sa construction, décidée par les Capitouls au XIIe siècle, transformé et embelli à chaque époque, le Capitole déploie sa majestueuse façade néoclassique sur l’incontournable place du même nom.

Ses murs racontent les grands moments de l’histoire toulousaine : de l’épisode cathare à la création des Jeux floraux, des comtes de Toulouse au siège de la ville.

À l’étage, on traverse de magnifiques salles de réception, ornées des allégories de l’Amour de Paul Gervais, des 10 toiles géantes de Henri Martin, notamment la salle des Illustres dont les peintures retracent l’histoire de Toulouse et dont les bustes font revivre les personnalités qui ont marqué la ville.

Amateurs d'art lyrique ? Le Capitole, c'est aussi le célèbre opéra de Toulouse. "
