The Temple of Jupiter Stator (Jupiter the Stayer) was a temple of ancient Rome, located in the area of the Roman Forum. 
The temple was first founded by Romulus after a battle in the Forum area between Romulus and the Sabines. During that battle the Romans were forced to retreat up hill on the Via Sacra.
