Tips
It is a complex architectural complex which takes its name "Augustales" from the inscription found here, which bears a dedication by the Augustan quadrumvir Lucius Calpurnio Aftoneto to the Genius Augustus. It is hypothesized that one of the rooms brought to light could have been the seat of a college of priests who had the task of officiating rites in honor of the deceased Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus.source: centuripecittaimperiale.com/augustales
