Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, AUGUSTUS, DIVUS, TEMPLUM (search)
of 248 (CIL iii. p. 900, No. lvii.), and it is not mentioned in the Regionary Catalogue. We are told of one painting in the temple, that of Hyacinthus by Nicias of Athens, which was placed there by Tiberius (Plin. NH xxxv. 131). Everywhere in Latin literature this temple is called templum Augusti or divi Augusti, except in Martial (iv. 53. 2) and Suetonius (Tib. 74), where it is templum novum, a name which was evidently given to the building at once, for it occurs in the Acta Arvalia from 36 A.D. on (CIL vi. 32346, 10; 2041, 5; 2042a, 28; 2051, 14), as well as the variant templum divi Augusti novum (2028e, 12; 2044c, 5; 32345; also vi. 8704). Once we find templum divi Augusti et divae Augustae (vi. 4222). In 69 A.D. an aedes Caesarum was struck by lightning (Suet. Galba I: tacta de caelo Caesarum aede capita omnibus simul statuis deciderunt, Augusti etiam sceptrum e manibus excussum est), and may perhaps be identified with this temple of Augustus (HJ 80). In connection with the temp

to be inferred from Ovid (Ars Am. i. 103-104: tunc neque marmoreo pendebant vela theatro nec fuerant liquido pulpita rubra croco; cf. Calp. Ecl. 7. 69-aet. Neronis). Augustus is said to have assigned separate seats to the senators and knights (Cass. Dio lv. 22. 4), but apparently not in any fixed section, for Claudius did this for the senators (Cass. Dio lx. 7. 3-4; Suet. Claud. 21), and Nero for the knights (Suet. Nero II; Tac. Ann. xv. 32; Plin. HN viii. 21; cf. Calp. Ecl. 7. 26-29). In 36 A.D. part of the circus on the Aventine side was burned (Tac. Ann. vi. 45; Cass. Dio lviii. 26. 5). This is called pars circi inter ultores in a fragmentary chronicle of Ostia (BC 1916, 211-212), where ultores probably refers to certain di ultores whose shrines were in this part of the circus. The reading' inter vitores' (basketmakers) is preferable (Eranos, 1926, 86-88). The damage was probably repaired at once, for Caligula celebrated the ludi circenses, evidently with considerable pomp (Suet
