Aytekin Right alongside the Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque, you will find the ancient temple of Augustus, which is the most intact remnant of the Roman period in Ankara. Built on top of an ancient Phrygian temple which was devoted to the Phrygian Goddess Kybele (Mother of Gods) and God Men (God of Moon), this 1st century BC temple was constructed during the Emperor Augustus’ rule. During excavations, many important findings have been unearthed. An epigraph titled Res Gestae Divi Augusti (Augustus’ Deeds), written in Latin and Ancient Greek about the life and achievements of the emperor, was found on the walls of the temple.
