<mods:abstract>Juno, queen of the pantheon, served as a tutelary goddess of Rome. The Temple of
Juno Regina on the Aventine ranked as one of the most important religious sanctuaries in the
city. The temple's introduction to Rome's landscape and controversial location pose several
questions as to Juno's role in the Roman pantheon, and Rome's role as caput mundi, that is,
as the capital of an expanding empire. This project applies modern mapping techniques and
Geographic Information System (GIS) software to questions of Republican Rome's social and
religious topography. Using digital technology, we gain a deeper understanding of how an
ancient viewer would have experienced the city. This personal experience directly connects
to a larger, often intentional, ideological presentation of the city. Through construction
of temples and monuments, the strategic placement of such, and religious iconography, Romans
crafted an image that projected their own self-identity to themselves and to the rest of the
Mediterranean.</mods:abstract>
