Il tempio di Augusto a Tarraco. Gigantismo e marmo lunense nei luoghi di culto imperiale in Hispania e Gallia

Reconstruction of the historical process that led to the development of the complex of Imperial Tarraco Acropolis has made significant progress over the past eighteen years. In this period reflection has dwelt on its reconstruction, concentrating on the plan and elevation in its final configuration achieved in the Flavian period, and on study of the architectural decoration and the influence of urban models, such as the Imperial Forum and the Templum Pacis. With the data we can make new hypotheses on the process that led to the creation of a major infrastructure works in the western provinces. It was concluded, after analysis of the archaeological evidence, and with the help of historical and numismatic sources, that a project of this scale began in the Augustan age, and continued developing during the last years or decades of the Julio-Claudian period, although it only took on its final form in the Flavian age.
