The "Aedes Divi Iulii" was the great temple to the memory of his great-uncle completed by Augustus and dedicated in the Forum in 29 BC on the site of Caesar's cremation. The Temple honored the "Divine Julius," as Augustus made Caesar the first Roman to be apotheosed to a god.

This is the group for discussion of the life of Julius Caesar and his contemporaries in the chaotic last decades of the Roman Republic. Sub-topics concern his battles and campaigns, the First Triumvirate, the Gallic Wars, the Civil War, the Ides of March, 44 BC, and its aftermath and meaning for the future of Rome.

As Cicero - who never approved of Caesar and rejoiced at his murder - still felt compelled to say, Fuit in illo ingenium, ratio, memoria, litterae, cura, cogitatio, diligentia - "In that man were combined genius, method, memory, literature, prudence, deliberation, and industry."(Phil II, XLV)
