The Capitolium of Volubilis in modern-day Morocco with its porticoed courtyard and single cella was a temple dedicated to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. It was completed under the reign of Emperor Macrinus in 218 CE. Erected on a tall podium, this temple was probably peripteral and hexastyle (six columns) but was clumsily restored in modern times as a four-columned prostyle building. An altar stands in the courtyard.
