Temple of jupiter optimus maximus was the greatest temple in italy at the time. The tarquin kings (5th and 7th kings of rome) were also responsible for the cloaca maxima, a very large drain to take the water off the low-lying areas for more land.

Roman coin, because of roman chariot (four horses abreast) and says roma across the bottom.
