Temple of Caesar, Roman temple in Roman Forum, Italy
The Temple of Caesar stands on the east side of the main square, featuring a high podium with an altar and remnants of ancient columns.
Augustus initiated the construction after Caesar's deification in 42 BC, dedicating the temple on August 18, 29 BC following his victory over Antony.
