EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the magnificent Temple of Augustus, a remarkable relic of ancient Roman civilization, nestled in the heart of Pula, Croatia, on the Istrian Peninsula. Dedicated to the goddess Roma and the revered Roman emperor Augustus, this architectural masterpiece was constructed between 2 B.C. and 14 A.D., bearing testament to the grandeur and power of the Roman Empire. The temple's Corinthian columns, adorned with intricate capitals, stand tall and proud, their once-white marble facade now weathered by the passage of time. The temple's architrave, pediment, and frieze are intricately carved with motifs symbolizing the Roman age, including the head of Augustus Caesar and various mythological scenes. The temple's portico, featuring a colonnade and a spacious porch, once served as a gathering place for the Roman community, a symbol of their connection to the empire and its ruler. After being completely destroyed during World War II, the temple was painstakingly rebuilt between 1945 and 1947, preserving the ancient structure for future generations to marvel at. This photograph captures the essence of the Roman age, transporting us back to an era of ancient civilizations, grand architecture, and the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire. The Temple of Augustus in Pula, Croatia, is a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the ancient world.
