The Temple of Rome and Augustus was a monopteral circular Ionic temple built on the Acropolis of Athens c. 19 BCE, likely coincident with Augustus' second visit to Athens. The structure was axially aligned with the eastern entrance of the Parthenon, placed 23 m eastward. It was inscribed with: "The [Athenian] people to the goddess Roma and Caesar Augustus. Pammenes, the son of Zenon, of Marathon, being general of the hoplites and priest of the goddess Roma and Augustus Saviour on the Acropolis, when Megiste, daughter of Asklepiades, of Halai, was priestess of Athena Polias. In the archonship of Areos, son of Dorion of Paiania." which was incised in an archaizing pseudo-stoichedon style on the architrave. The temple, which asserted the divinity of Rome and the Imperial cult in the context of the religious centre of the Acropolis, was a propaganda monument erected at a time of tension between Rome and Athens. Its ruins remain on the Acropolis.
