COLUMNA ROSTRATA AUGUSTI
(search)
COLUMNA ROSTRATA AUGUSTI
a gilded column, decorated with rostra,
erected in the forum after Octavian's return to Rome in 36 B.C., to
commemorate his victory over Sextus Pompeius (App. BC v. 130). The
column was surmounted with a statue of Octavian and is represented
on a coin issued between 35 and 28 B.C. (Cohen, Aug. 124; BM. Aug.
633-6). Servius (ad Georg. iii. 29: navali surgentes aere columnas）
says that after his conquest of Egypt Augustus melted down many of the
beaks of the captured ships and constructed four columns, which Domitian
removed to the Capitoline where they stood in Servius' day. Where
they were erected by Augustus, and whether they were rostratae in the
ordinary sense, is uncertain

MAUSOLEUM AUGUSTI
* the mausoleum erected, as a dynastic rather than
as a personal monument (we may note that it had become customary
to grant the privilege of burial in the campus Martius to persons of distinction by special decree of the senate), by Augustus for himself, his
family, and his successors in the northern part of the campus Martius,
between the via Flaminia and the Tiber, as early as 28 B.C. (Suet. Aug. 100:(mausoleum) inter Flaminiam viam ripamque Tiberis sexto suo consulatu
