Cast of corner of outer moulding around coffer (original from the Temple of Mars Ultor in the Forum of Augustus), late 18th century. The Temple of Mars Ultor (the Avenger) was dedicated by Augustus in 2 BCE as the centre piece of his new Forum in Rome. The last three columns of the south side of the Temple with the corresponding section of the cella wall and roof between them still stand. This cast reproduces some of the middle moulding around a coffer in the ceiling.
