Temple of Fortuna Augusta, Roman temple ruins in Pompeii, Italy
The Temple of Fortuna Augusta stands on a high podium with marble columns and features four side niches for honorary statues within its structure.
Marcus Tullius, a relative of Cicero, funded the construction of this temple during the Augustan age when he served as Duumvir of Pompeii.
The temple combined religious practices with political influence through the placement of imperial statues whenever a new emperor ascended to power.
Visitors can access the temple through the main archaeological site of Pompeii, with extended opening hours from April through October until 7:30 PM.
The temple's architect incorporated a distinctive platform interruption in the main staircase, creating a specific space for the altar placement.
