This temple was begun by Augustus in 36 B.C., 1 after his Sicilian victory over Sextus Pompeius, and finished in 28 B.C. 2 A glowing account of the splendours of these buildings is given by Propertius (El., ii. 3). Inside the cella were statues of Apollo between Latona and Diana by Scopas, Praxiteles, and Timotheus respectively (Plin., H.N., xxxvi. 4) ; round the walls were statues of the nine Muses (Juv., vii. 37). The pediment had sculpture by Bnpalus and Archennus of Chios (Plin., H. N., xxxvi. 4), and on the apex was Apollo in a quadriga of gilt bronze. The double door was covered with ivory reliefs of the death of the Niobids and the defeat of the Gauls at Delphi. The Anoyra inscription records that FIG. 17. Plan of the Palatine Hill. 1.
