The Capitoline Triad was a group of three important gods in ancient Roman religion. These gods were Jupiter, the king of the gods; Juno, his wife and sister; and Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. This group was special because it had one god and two goddesses, which was unusual in ancient religions.

The three gods were honored in special temples called Capitolia. These temples were often built on hills in many cities across Italy and other parts of the Roman world. The most famous temple was on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. In this temple, each of the three gods had their own space.
