In Pula, Croatia, there is a well-maintained Roman temple called the Temple of Augustus. It was most likely constructed during the reign of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, somewhere between 27 BC and his death in AD 14. It is dedicated to the emperor. It stands at a height of 14 meters and has a tetrastyle prostyle porch made of Corinthian columns. It was constructed on a platform. The elaborately adorned frieze bears resemblance to one of the most notable and relatively new temples in France, the Maison Carrée in Nîmes. The two most complete Roman monuments outside of Italy are thought to be these two temples. The temple was one of three that made up a triad. On one side of the primary shrine was the temple dedicated to the goddess Diana, and on the other stood the temple dedicated to Augustus. The entire rear of the Temple of Diana is still distinctly visible despite the loss of the bigger central temple, which was incorporated into the 1296-built Communal Palace. The temple would have been shut down during the persecution of pagan during late Roman Empire if it had been in operation by the fourth century. The temple was utilized as a granary before being transformed into a church during Byzantine authority, which explains why it has survived to this day. By the late 1800s, the temple was partially hidden by buildings and stood at the intersection of the marketplace of Pula. It was nearly completely destroyed in 1944 when it was bombed during an Allied air strike, but it was rebuilt in 1947. Today, Roman sculpture is on exhibit within its lapidarium. Bronze lettering was originally nailed to the stones of the architrave to represent the consecration of the temple. #History #Architecture
