Library of the Temple of Auguste
The library of the Temple of Auguste ( Bibliotheca Templi Augusti or Bibliotheca Novi Augusti ) was established by the emperor Tibère and was devoted after its death.
It had associated it with the sanctuary and one could admire a colossal statue of Apollon in Bronze inside the Bibliothèque. The Temple of Auguste and his Bibliothèque was located in the Vélabre, behind the Temple of Beaver and Pollux and the Basilique Julia, with the foot of the Palatin, where it belonged to a whole of buildings of the time flavienne connected by a slope to the platform of the hill of the Palatin.
It burned with the temple under the reign of Vespasien and the emperor Domitien reconstituted it. The books were not replaced after this fire until the engraving of a epigram in 101 a. J. - C. when the Bibliothèque took again life.
It is possible that it is same the Bibliothèque which was called library of the Palais of Tibère ( bibliotheca domus Tiberianae ) to the IIe century.
