This paper is part of a broad study aimed at the reconstruction of the restoration works carried out on the public buildings in the Forum of Pompeii after the earthquake of 62 AD. A new assessment of the controversial chronology of the altar preserved inside the Temple of Genius Augusti is discussed: after a brief review of previous researches, a new typological classification and a new dating for the reliefs and mouldings is proposed, based on the re-examination of the stylistic aspects and technological details. The study of the monument offers also new insights into the practice of reuse in Pompeii and, more generally, into the last building phase of the Forum.

Abstract
This paper is part of a broad study aimed at the reconstruction of the restoration works carried out on the public buildings in the Forum of Pompeii after the earthquake of 62 AD. A new assessment of the controversial chronology of the altar preserved inside the Temple of Genius Augusti is discussed: after a brief review of previous researches, a new typological classification and a new dating for the reliefs and mouldings is proposed, based on the re-examination of the stylistic aspects and technological details. The study of the monument offers also new insights into the practice of reuse in Pompeii and, more generally, into the last building phase of the Forum.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
