Sospita 
Under the name of Juno Sospita (in Latin , Juno SISP, CIE "propitious") was particularly Saturnia revered in ancient Lanuvium , where, on the top of the hill of S. Lorenzo, in 1914, were discovered the remains of a temple Italico. A shrine, famous throughout the Lazio old, was built in Lanuvio , Sospita in honor of Juno, the goddess of salvation, already in the Archaic period and was one of the most important Lazio . The goddess was depicted with his head covered with a goatskin, the calcei repandi feet (shoes with spikes raised oriental type), a shield in the left two lobes (the so-called shield Biloba, Mycenaean origin) and a right lance. Juno was so revered in its two valences: matronly and warrior, so similar to the Hera of Argos, whose worship according to tradition, was imported from Diomede. Goddess was worshiped too chthonic, which manifested itself in a singular worship of the serpent, reared in a cave near the temple.

During the last part of the fence, in reticulated work, and the system of terraces built to stabilize the hillside. The provision of terraces also gave sanctuary to the scenic aspect, the shrine's distinctive architecture of Lazio in the late Republican era, of which notable examples are the monumental complex, still partially preserved, of Palestrina (the sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia) and Tivoli (sanctuary of Hercules). Also in this period belong the walls visible in the Villa Comunale and the arched portico, framed by half Doric, preserved in the Villa Sforza.
