reconstruction temple caesar huelsen 3d 3ds - Temple of Julius Caesar [C. Huelsen Type] by SmartCGArt

'The only place in the whole world where a comet is the object of worship is a temple at Rome. His late Majesty Augustus had deemed this comet very propitious to himself; as it had appeared not long after the decease of his father Caesar. People believed that this star signified the soul of Caesar received among the spirits of the immortal gods.'
Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 2.93-94

[In Greek and Roman culture Comet is an adjective determining the distinctive characteristic of a special Star. So a Comet Star is a Long-Haired Star and so it was represented on coins and monuments as you can see in the images.]

The Perfect Model for Real Ancient Roman Environment Rendering!

The Temple of Caesar was begun in the Roman Forum in Rome in 42 BC by Augustus and dedicated on August 18, 29 BC, after the Battle of Actium: the Warships rostra attached to the temple were the ones from the defeated ships of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. As we know from Pliny the Elder and the coins struck by Augustus, the Temple was also the worship-place of the Comet Star, being the Comet Star the symbol of the deification of Julius Caesar.

This is an accurate reconstruction of the Temple of Caesar according to the reconstruction by the famous Roman Forum archaeologist Christian Huelsen: two frontal staircases, altar niche and composite order with corinthian pilasters.

ATTENTION: In this reconstruction Model, all the plan irregularities have been respected.

The plan of the temple and the site itself were naturally irregular [Richardson], due to the Romans' devotion to that very particular place where Caesar was publicly cremated and then deified [44 BC]: the temple was built thus in an irregular position between the Forum Main Square and the Regia and in a few years partially covered with other great monuments, i.e. Porticus Iulia and the Arch of Augustus, in order to create a majestic monumental complex. Its rear section and walls, in addition, seem to have been built, knowing that the walls of the Regia, which stood behind the temple, were too close [Stamper].
