Archaic Triad

Jupiter
Mars
Quirinus
The three gods

The Archaic Triad is a hypothetical divine triad, supposed to consist of the presumed three original deities worshipped on the Capitoline Hill in Rome: Jupiter, Mars, and Quirinus. This structure was no longer clearly detectable in later times; only traces of it have been identified from various literary sources and other testimonies, and many scholars dispute the validity of this identification.
