The most relevant features of the temple of Rome and Augustus at Ostia are reviewed in the light of the recent edition, highlighting progress and critical points in our knowledge of it. The probable date of the temple in the late Augustan era provides the starting point to try and establish the mechanisms that led to the celebration of the newborn empire in the civic spaces of some port cities of ancient Italy (Ostia, Pozzuoli, Terracina, Pola), emphasizing common elements as well as specific differences, and identifying in the years following the death of Gaius Caesar (AD 4) a possible turning point for the definition and orientation of these projects, aimed at transforming the monumental panoply of the cities of the empire.

Abstract

The most relevant features of the temple of Rome and Augustus at Ostia are reviewed in the light of the recent edition, highlighting progress and critical points in our knowledge of it. The probable date of the temple in the late Augustan era provides the starting point to try and establish the mechanisms that led to the celebration of the newborn empire in the civic spaces of some port cities of ancient Italy (Ostia, Pozzuoli, Terracina, Pola), emphasizing common elements as well as specific differences, and identifying in the years following the death of Gaius Caesar (AD 4) a possible turning point for the definition and orientation of these projects, aimed at transforming the monumental panoply of the cities of the empire.
