It is an ancient coastal town of almost 60 ha encircled by a wall and was densely populated. Founded in the 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century AD, it became a Roman colony in 80 BC. During the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the town was buried under a huge quantity of volcanic deposits. After this disaster, the town was abandoned, though not before some of the materials were recovered.<br><br>In the heart of the town near the forum, Marcus Tullius, an important figure of the Pompeiian aristocracy, had financed the construction of a public monument. Built on a site belonging to him, which he donated to the city, the Corinthian-order pseudo-peripteros temple was dedicated to Fortuna Augusta. An inscription found on the site proves that the first ministers of the temple were nominated by the city in 3 AD, but the building had been completed earlier. Later, the building underwent a number of modifications \u2013 in particular the restoration of the apse \u2013 which may be due to the earthquake of 62 AD.<br><br>After the eruption, some of the building materials were retrieved, before the temple was definitively abandoned.<br><br><strong>Research History<\/strong><br>The town of Pompeii was discovered by chance at the end of the 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, but it was not until the 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century that the site was intensively excavated. The temple of Fortuna Augusta was uncovered in 1823-1824. However, although it has been referenced, and copied, many times since then, this monument had never been comprehensively studied. To fill this gap, a research programme was launched in 2008, on the initiative of Willam Van Andringa (CNRS).<br><br>This project aims to gain a better understanding of the temple: what did it look like? What transformations did it undergo? How was the construction of the building organised? The objective was also to examine the temple\u2019s relationship with the city, and to explore the change from private to public space. Furthermore, the excavation of the areas around the temple reached the geological levels at a number of places. These windows enabled us to trace the urban development of the area over a long period of time, from the town\u2019s beginnings to the earthquake of 79 AD.<br><br>Excavations took place from 2008 to 2012 and since 2013, work has been focused on the publication of their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Partners<\/strong> <br>\u00c9cole Fran\u00e7aise de Rome (France)<br>University of Lille III (France)<br>Arkeolan Foundation, Oiasso Museum, Irun (Spain)<br>Soprintendenza par i Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei (Italy)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-11-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-ae5ad6d5e1df88bf7c7ee10a9230ab10\"><strong>Publications<\/strong> :<br>William Van&nbsp;Andringa, Amaia&nbsp;Basterretxea, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois&nbsp;Bernard, Carole&nbsp;Chevalier, Arnaud&nbsp;Coutelas, Thomas&nbsp;Creissen, Franck&nbsp;Decanter, Xavier&nbsp;Deru, Djamila&nbsp;Fellague, Antoine&nbsp;Gailliot, Johannes&nbsp;Laiho, Aitziber&nbsp;Lekuona, Tuija&nbsp;Lind, Christophe&nbsp;Loiseau, V\u00e9ronique&nbsp;Matterne, Maria Jose&nbsp;Noain, Tarek&nbsp;Oueslati, Maria Mercedes&nbsp;Urteaga, Vincent&nbsp;Lallet&nbsp;et Mark&nbsp;Robinson, \u00ab&nbsp;M.
