Temple of Juno Sospita (Palatine)
- Not to be confused with the Temple of Juno Sospita in the Forum Holitorium.
The Temple of Juno Sospita was an ancient Roman temple on the Palatine Hill in Rome.
It was probably a term for a small shrine adjoining the Temple of the Magna Mater (recorded by Ovid), parts of which remain in Augustan-era opus reticulatum, although most of the remains belong to a Hadrianic restoration.
A minority interpretation is that 'Temple of Juno Sospita' was another term for the Temple of the Magna Mater's auguraculum.
