摘要:Following Caesar Augustus' conquest of Galatia (Asia Minor) in 25 BC, a marble temple was built in Ancyra, the administrative capital of the province, to day the capital of the Turkish Republic, Ankara. This monument was consecrated to the Emperor and to the Goddess Rome: a Memorial of Augustus and of the Roman hegemony. On Augustus' death the temple was adorned with coloured carved letters to glorify his res gestae. This political celebration of his achievements, the honours he received and the undertakings he made to reach power, were copied from the original one engraved, at the behest of a clause in his will, on two bronze pillars at the entrance to his mausoleum, in Rome. The University of Trieste in 1997 began the so-called Ancyra Project for the survey and the safeguard of the monument worldwide known as Monument Ancyranum. This paper is a report of the inter- disciplinary research (history, archaeology, photogrammetry and architecture) on the most important Roman monument still standing in Ankara, the temple of Augustus. The team of experts, coming from many Italian universities, leaded by P.Botteri, carried out the interdisciplinary project. Here the results are briefly described, mainly as far as surveys are concerned. The tachometric and photogrammetric survey has been carried out in two different phases, the first one in 1997 limited only to the epigraphs, the second one in 2000 dedicated to the entire temple
