Temple of Augustus (Pula)
The Temple of Augustus ((クロアチア語:Augustov hram)) is a well-preserved Roman temple in the city of Pula, Croatia (known in Roman times as ''Pola''). Dedicated to the first Roman emperor, Augustus, it was probably built during the emperor's lifetime at some point between 2 BC and his death in AD 14.〔Radovan Radovinovic (ed.), ''The Croatian Adriatic'', pp. 48-49. Naklada Naprijed, 1999. ISBN 953-178-097-8〕 It was built on a podium with a tetrastyle prostyle porch of Corinthian columns and measures about 8 m (26 ft) by 17.3 m (57 ft). The richly decorated frieze is similar to that of a somewhat larger and older temple, the Maison Carrée in Nîmes, France.〔Donald S. Robertson, ''Greek and Roman Architecture'', p. 214. Cambridge University Press, 1969. ISBN 0-521-09452-6〕
==History==
The temple was part of a triad consisting of three temples. The Temple of Augustus stood at the left side of the central temple, and the similar temple of the goddess Diana stood on the other side of the main temple. Although the larger central temple has not survived, the whole back side of the Temple of Diana is still clearly visible due to its incorporation into the Communal Palace, built in 1296.
Under Byzantine rule, the temple was converted into a church, accounting for its survival to modern times, and was later used as a granary. It was struck by a bomb during an Allied air raid in 1944, almost totally destroying it, but was reconstructed in 1947. It is today used as a lapidarium to display items of Roman sculpture.〔Jane Foster, ''Footprint Croatia'', p. 106. Footprint Travel Guides, 2004. ISBN 1-903471-79-6〕〔Jeanne Oliver, ''Croatia''.
