It is very surprising when you suddenly find yourself in front of an ancient Roman temple in southern France. The Temple de Auguste et de Livie is very well preserved and impressive in size.

The Temple of Augustus and Livia is a Roman temple peripteral sine postico hexastylecorinthian built at the beginning of the first century, which was located in the city center of the ancient city of Vienna, also corresponding to the center of the contemporary city of Vienna, in the department French Isère and the Rhône-Alpes region.

During its construction, the temple is dedicated to the imperial cult, to honor the Emperor Augusta and his wife Livia. It presents two states of construction. Of the original building built in stone of the South, there remains only the rear part: wall in large apparatus to the west, pilasters of angle, returns with pilasters and columns. This first state is dated from the last quarter of the first century BC. AD compared with the Maison Carrée de Nîmes, the Roman Temple of Château-Bas in Vernègues and other buildings in Narbonnaise. Most of the building is rebuilt in Seyssel and choin stones. According to the specialists of the ancient ornamentation, these capitals treated in a more natural way would have been carved towards the half of the second century of our era, which corresponds to the first uses of the choin in the city. Partial reconstruction would occur a few decades after construction. Now, one can not imagine that such a building intended to honor Augustus remained unfinished so much time. As a result, the building suffered a fire (traces of which can be seen on the rear and on the podium), or a slight earthquake caused the collapse of the eastern part of the building, the rear end having resisted from the presence of the cella and the west wall. This reconstruction probably took place before Livia was deified in 42 because the initial inscription on the frieze of the new pediment was handed over and then added that of Livia on the architrave. One can think that if the reconstruction of the temple had taken place after the deification of Livia, an inscription including the entire dedication would have adorned the frieze, without overflowing on the architecture.
