Juno Sospita was the main reason for the fame of the little town and although she had temples in Rome as well, she remained intrinsically connected to Lanuvium. Ovid has the goddess talking about the town as 'my own' and Silius Italicus labels it Iunonia sedes.340 Ancient historiographers deliberated on the antiquity of Juno Sospita and modern Temple of Juno Sospita. This temple to Juno the Savior ("Sospita") was vowed in 197 B.C. by the consul C. Cornelius Cethegus during a war, and dedicated on February 1, 194 B.C.. The senate had it rebuilt in 90 B.C. when it was reported that Caecilia, the daughter of a censor, dreamt that it had been defiled.
