The
Temples of Dea Roma and
Divus Julius Caesar (Temenos)

There used
to be two temples between the Prytaneum (town hall) and Odeon (Concert
hall). They were Imperial Cult erected in the 1C AD with the permission
of Augustus in honor of his adoptive father Julius Caesar, and of Rome.
The Imperial Cult never became a true religion.
They
aimed to have good relationship with emperors and flatter. There was an
altar serving the worship of Artemis and Augustus.
