Temple of Caesar in Rome

 On August 18, 29 BCE, the Temple of Caesar in Rome was consecrated. It was the first deification of a ruler in the history of Rome. The building suffered heavily over the centuries. Only the podium and fragments of architectural decorations have survived. In front of the temple, in a semicircle, stood the altar on which Caesar was cremated.

  Actually, the Temple of the Divine Julius (Latin: Aedes Divus Iulius, Templum Divi Iulii) was a temple dedicated to Julius Caesar, recognized as a god by the Roman Senate. The temple was located in the Roman Forum between the Regia, the Castor Temple and the Emilian Basilica.
