Figures 1-2 - The temple Augustus - Details of the southern 
wall and of the entrance gate encaged in scaffoldings 
The last known measurements have been published in Berlin by 
M. Schede and D. Krencker, in 1936 (Der Tempel in Ankara). 
We carried out the photogrammetric survey of all the engraved 
walls, covering an area of approximately 40 square meters. A 
photographic documentation of the monument complex have 
been also produced with regard especially for the architectural 
features of the building to publish a much-needed new 
interpretation of the complex (archaeologist B. Pinna Caboni). 
The virtual cast of the complex, obtained by non-aggressive and 
non-intrusive techniques is already available to historians and 
researchers. (Botteri et al., 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003).

deterioration of the surface is clearly visible 
A complete topographic and photogrammetric survey of the 
whole complex was performed in 2000. In figure 5 the plotting 
of both sides of the walls (46 models). 
The updated plan was then derived, the 3D line plotting of the 
walls, a wire-frame model of the monument has already been set 
up, figures 5, 6, 7, 8 (Botteri et al. 2002 a, b), allowing technical 
static knowledge: for instance the left lateral wall is out of 
vertical by more than half of the width of the wall.

The rectified photomosaic of the walls has been added as texture 
to the plotted walls for a complete knowledge of the monument 
regarding the deterioration map in view of the restoration of the 
inscriptions. The animated visualisation of the temple gives a 
better understanding for researchers and for the possible 
restoration project (Fangi et al 2002); the WRML interactive 
virtual tour displays a related GIS for the complete knowledge of 
the monument (Malinvemi et al. 2002).
