Temple of Divus Augustus, Roman temple in Roman Forum, Italy.
The Temple of Divus Augustus features a tetrastylos formation with eight columns, marble entablature, and triangular pediment near the Basilica Julia.
Construction of the temple began after Augustus' death in 14 AD following a Senate vow, with Tiberius initiating the work and Caligula completing it in 37 AD.
The temple served as a central location for religious ceremonies and public gatherings, containing an effigy of Augustus and artistic representations of the Julian family.
Modern visitors can observe the exposed rubble core and foundation remains measuring approximately 26 meters by 27 meters at the southeastern end of the Forum.
The temple's increased podium height created an architectural effect that required viewers to look upward, demonstrating the grandeur of Augustan period design.
