 ruins, Roman Empire, interesting place, Ancient Roman temple

Dedicated by Augustus Caesar on the spot where Julius Caesar's body was cremated. Caesar was the first resident of Rome (after Romulus) to be deified and so honored with a temple.

The Temple of Caesar (Aedes Divus Iulius or Templum Divi Iulii) was begun by Augustus in 42 BC after the senate deified Julius Caesar posthumously. Augustus dedicated the Ionic prostyle temple to Caesar (his adoptive father) on August 18, 29 BC, after the Battle of Actium. It stands on the east side of the main square of the Roman Forum (Forum), between the Regia, Temple of Castor and Pollux and the Basilica Aemilia
