Augusteum, so-called Basilica, Roman civil basilica in Ercolano, Italy.
The building features a marble-paved square with porticoes, a central exedra, and two corner apses decorated with fourth-style wall paintings.
Built during the Julio-Claudian period in the first century BC, the structure sustained damage in the 62 earthquake and underwent renovations under Emperor Vespasian.
The basilica contained numerous statues of imperial family members, including Augustus depicted as Jupiter and Titus in military armor with decorated breastplate.
The structure measures sixty meters in length and forty meters in width, with five entrances along its sides and a layout similar to Pompeii's Eumachia Building.
Archaeological excavations in the 18th century through tunnel systems revealed multiple bronze and marble statues now displayed at Naples Archaeological Museum.
