Description
In this picture, the inscribed architrave of the Temple of Roma and Augustus sits just before the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The inscription indicates the dedication of the temple to the Goddess Roma and Augustus Caesar. The Temple sits on top of the Acropolis, bathed by the moonlight of a late summer evening.
The temple, dedicated to the deified Roman Emperor Augustus and the goddess Roma, reflects the blend of Greek and Roman cultures. The structure, though in ruins, still boasts impressive columns that tell tales of a bygone era. The intricate carvings on the frieze, though worn by time, are visible under the direct sun, showcasing the craftsmanship of the artisans.
I took this picture while visiting Athens in September 2021.
