The Temple of Juno Lacinia (or Hera Lacinia) is a ruined ancient Greek temple dedicated to Hera (Juno) located on Capo Colonna in Calabria, Italy, near Crotone (ancient Kroton). The remaining feature is a Doric column with capital, about 27 feet (8.2 m) in height. Remains of marble roof-tiles have been seen on the spot (Livy xlii.3) and architectural fragments were excavated in 1886–1887 by the Archaeological Institute of America. The sculptures found were mostly buried again, but a few fragments, some decorative terracottas and a dedicatory inscription to Hera of the 6th century BC, in private possession at Crotone, are described by F. von Duhn in Notizie degli scavi.

  • El Templo de Juno Lacinia (o Hera Lacinia) es un antiguo templo griego en ruinas dedicado a Hera (Juno) situado en Capo Colonna en Calabria, Italia, cerca de Crotona (antigua Kroton). Lo que queda es una columna dórica con capitel de unos 8,2 m de altura. Se han visto restos de tejas de mármol en el lugar ​ y el Instituto Arqueológico de América excavó fragmentos arquitectónicos en 1886-1887. Las esculturas encontradas estaban en su mayoría enterradas de nuevo, pero unos pocos fragmentos, algunas terracotas decorativas y una inscripción dedicatoria a Hera del siglo VI a. C., en posesión privada en Crotona, son descritos por F. von Duhn en Notizie degli scavi.​ La fecha de erección del templo se postula entre el 480 y el 440 a. C.; no está registrada por ningún escritor antiguo. Se cree que fue fundado por Hércules (Heracles) después de matar al bandido Lacinio, que intentó robar parte del ganado de Gerión.​ El templo ha sido descrito como «quizás la [estructura] más espléndida del sur de Italia». El tesoro federal de la Liga de los italiotas se trasladó allí en el siglo V a. C., y permaneció allí hasta que se trasladó a Heraclea de Lucania, cerca de Tarento.​ Antes de evacuar Italia en el 206 a .C., hacia el final de la Segunda guerra púnica, Aníbal dedicó una placa de bronce con inscripciones en púnico y griego en la que se detallaban sus logros[.​ En el 173 a. C., el censor Quinto Fulvio Flaco dedicó el en Roma, para lo cual había arrancado las tejas de mármol del techo del Templo de Juno. En el año 172 a. C., por el dolor de las trágicas noticias sobre sus hijos, Flaco se ahorcó. «El Senado ordenó que se devolvieran las tejas, pero, como no había nadie que supiera cómo reponerlas, las dejaron en el recinto del templo».​ Cicerón cita a Lucio Celio Antípatro diciendo que en el templo había una columna de oro. Aníbal quiso saber si era o no de oro macizo, hizo un agujero y, al determinar que era macizo, decidió llevárselo a Cartago. A la noche siguiente, Juno se le apareció en sueños y le amenazó con perder el ojo bueno que le quedaba si lo cogía. Aníbal obedeció la advertencia; mandó fundir una pequeña estatua de una novilla —sagrada para Juno— con las virutas del taladro y la montó sobre la columna.​ (es)

The date of the erection of the temple is postulated as 480–440 BC; it is not recorded by any ancient writer. It was reputed to have been founded by Hercules (Herakles) after he killed the bandit Lacinius, who attempted to steal some of the cattle of Geryon. The temple has been described a "perhaps the most splendid [structure] in southern Italy." The federal treasury of the Italiote League was moved there in the 5th century BC, and remained there until relocated to Herakleia near Tarentum. Before evacuating Italy in 206 BC, toward the close of the Second Punic War, Hannibal dedicated bronze plaque inscribed in Punic and Greek there detailing his accomplishments. In 173 BC, the Censor Quintus Fulvius Flaccus dedicated the Temple of Fortuna Equestris in Rome, for which he had stripped the marble tiles from the roof of the Temple of Juno. In 172, out of grief over tragic news about his sons, Flaccus hanged himself. "[T]here was a general belief that he had been driven mad by Juno Lacinia, in her anger at his spoliation of her temple." The Senate ordered the tiles returned, but, "as there was no one who understood how to replace the tiles they had been left in the precinct of the temple." Cicero cites Coelius Antipater saying that the temple featured a golden column. Hannibal wanted to know whether or not it was solid gold, and drilled a hole and, determining that it was solid, decided to take it back to Carthage. The next night Juno appeared to him in a dream and threatened him with the loss of his remaining good eye if he took it. Hannibal obeyed the warning; he had a small statue of a heifer—sacred to Juno—cast from the drill shavings and mounted it on top of the column. The temple was said to have still been fairly complete in the 16th century, but was destroyed to build the episcopal palace at Crotone. (en)
  • L'area archeologica di Capo Colonna è un sito archeologico statale situato in località Capo Colonna, vicino a Crotone, raggiungibile tramite una strada costiera dal capoluogo oltre che dalla statale 106 in loc. S.Anna proseguendo sulla S.P. 50. È inclusa nella lista dei monumenti nazionali. Gli elementi archeologici presenti non si limitano al solo più noto Santuario dorico dedicato ad Hera, di maggiore frequentazione durante l'età classica ed ellenistica, ma si tratta di un sito con stratificazioni di diverse epoche, da quella preistorica, con frequentazioni italiche fino alla fondazione della colonia di Kroton. Numerosi resti risalgono all'età romana: dapprima in età repubblicana, un decennnio dopo la fine della seconda guerra punica, qui venne costituito il primo insediamento della colonia romana di Croto, e poi la statio di Lacenium in età imperiale.
