Temple of Augustus and Livia, Roman temple in Vienne, France

The Temple of Augustus and Livia stands as a rectangular structure with Corinthian columns on a high podium, featuring detailed decorations across its pediment.

Emperor Claudius dedicated this temple to Emperor Augustus and rededicated it to include Livia in 41 AD, as evidenced by remaining bronze letter traces.

The building transformed from a Roman temple into a Christian church named Notre-Dame-de-Vie, later serving as a courthouse and museum through centuries.

The temple remains visible from behind a low fence in central Vienne, allowing visitors to examine its architectural features without entrance fees.

The structure contains two different styles of Corinthian capitals and cornice panels, indicating multiple construction periods during Roman times.
