Temples, Augustus, VitruviusAbstract
The temple was one of the main expressions of material culture with regard to religion and religiosity in the Ancient World. In the Rome of the Augustan Age, the same thing happened, so much so that the construction of temples obeyed precise rules, in addition to being linked to political strategies, since it conferred glory on those who were responsible for it. In this paper we analyze the process of building temples, their general characteristics and the main rules for the construction of the houses of the deities, as well as the importance with which the construction of temples had in this period. For that, we used the De Architectura, of Vitruvius, as well as the vestiges of the material culture of that time.
