Collection Mémoires 52, Université Bordeaux-Montaigne. Temples were omnipresent in the city of Rome during Antiquity and dominated their surrounding spaces both by their status as sacred buildings and by their imposing and richly decorated architecture. This systematic study/This book immerses us in the sculpted decoration of Roman temples and, in particular, in the world of images that dominated their facades and which, through representations related to the divine sphere, conveyed important political messages.
