Roman Emperor Augustus gave four documents to nuns shortly before of his death. The first included his testament, the second is his orders for the funeral, the third is all information about the Empire and the last one included his works during the time he ruled the empire.
His step son Nero sent these four documents to Rome after the Augustus's death and putted on the plate front of Augustus's tomb.
The documents were copied and sent to the temples in the land where Roman Empire ruled... they couldn't withstand the destructive power of the time and the original texts disappeared with those in Rome...
Today, there is only the last document in the Temple of Augustus in Ankara. For this reason the temple is so important and famous...
Augustus Temple was converted into a church during the Byzantine period and three windows was built. Today these windows are still standing...
Today, the temple shares the same place with Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque, supports eachother and stands against time...
Note: The temple has been stand in Ulus about two tousand years now :), When you come to Ulus, you can find if you ask someone or follow the signs... Have a nice trip...
