The first temple of Juno Moneta was dedicated on the Arx, one of the two rises on the Capitoline Hill in the center of Rome in 344 B.C. Moneta derives from the Latin verb "to warn" and the sacred geese at the temple warned the Romans of Gallic invaders. In time, the mint was located next to the temple and the epithet "moneta" came to mean "money" and is the root of the English word "money." This early 19th-century drawing shows the temple as it might have looked at the time the early Roman Empire began, end of 1st century B.C.
