The temple, or Roman sanctuary, above Terracina dates back to the fourth century BC, though much of the development belongs to the first and second centuries BC. The complex is large and spectacularly-situated, dominating the shoreline and sea. The sanctuary has long been assumed to have been dedicated to Jupiter, although Venus has been another suggestion.
Monte Sant'Angelo, 227m high, is the end of the Monti Ausoni mountain range. Descending straight to the sea, the mountain blocked the path of the Appian Way (Via Appia), which veered north of the summit until Trajan had the rock face cut to clear a route at sea level. This commanding position on a major communications route and above a port gave the site obvious significance, and the religious complex was designed on a large scale, to incorporate a military base.
The large complex consisted of several buildings constructed over several centuries. The principal temple would have dominated the skyline, sitting on a large platform above the arcaded substructure and accessed up twelve steps. Behind this building a colonnaded portico ran along the cliffs. At a short distance a smaller temple had its own levelled rocky base, while other features included an 'oracle's cave', cisterns and military headquarters. A huge wall with nine towers protects the headland.
The most impressive remains are those of the vaulting at the base of the main temple area. A sequence of eleven arches provide a panoramic and striking cloister facing the sea, while on the landward side, the passage opens onto a 60m-long vaulted hall.
Il tempio di Giove Anxur è un tempio romano costruito su un'imponente costruzione del I secolo a.C. sul monte Sant'Angelo, sopra la città di Terracina (LT).
Il monte Sant'Angelo, noto anche come monte Giove (per i Romani mons Neptunius, 227 m s.l.m.) costituisce l'ultima propaggine dei Monti Ausoni, che giunge fino al Mar Tirreno, chiudendo a sud la pianura pontina.
Sulle sue pendici meridionali era sorto il centro ausonio di Tarracina, poi volsco con il nome di Anxur e conquistato definitivamente dai Romani alla fine del V secolo. Nel 329 a.C. la città divenne colonia romana e nel 312 a.C. il monte fu aggirato alle spalle dal tracciato della nuova via Appia, tra Roma e Capua. A quest'epoca risalgono i primi terrazzamenti in opera poligonale, per l'erezione di un primo santuario, probabilmente legato al culto oracolare e forse non comprendente un tempio.
Alla seconda metà del II secolo a.C. si deve un rifacimento con una serie di ambienti addossatti alla roccia a monte (cosiddetto "piccolo tempio").
La facciata della grande sostruzione a terrazzaIn epoca sillana, agli inizi del I secolo a.C. si data infine una monumentale ricostruzione, con una cinta muraria e un campo militare per il controllo del passaggio della via Appia e il nuovo grande tempio, edificato su una scenografica terrazza di fondazione in opera incerta, con portico retrostante.
Dopo l'epoca romana il santuario fu distrutto e incendiato e i resti furono noti in epoca medioevale con il nome di "Palazzo di Teodorico". Nell'alto Medioevo nella zona del cosiddetto "piccolo tempio" si insediò un monastero dedicato a San Michele Arcangelo, dal quale l'intero colle prese il nome attuale. In particolare un corridoio interno di sostruzione fu trasformato in chiesa, con affreschi del IX secolo. Altre strutture medioevali (resti di una torre quadrata e di mura di recinzione e tracce di frequentazione del XIII secolo) testimoniano la continuazione dell'uso militare della sommità del colle.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
