Mater Matuta had a temple in the capital city of Rome, on the north side of the Forum Boarium, mentioned in Ovid's Fasti.

[5][6] The sixth king of Rome, Servius Tullius, was thought to have personally consecrated the temple in the 6th century BCE.

[7] A temple in Campania, outside modern Capua, yielded dozens of votive statues representing matres matutae, found in the "Fondo Patturelli," a private estate.

[2][7] Statuettes at Satricum depicted a female figure with a solar disc behind her head an iconographic detail similar to representations of other goddesses, such as Uni in Etruria and the Phoenician Astarte.

Notably, a singular female slave participated in a ritual whereupon the woman was beaten and driven from the area by the freeborn women.

Adjoining the bridges and the great Circus is an open space of far renown, which takes its name from the statue of an ox there, on this day, it is said, Servius consecrated with his own sceptered hands a temple of Mother Matuta.
