Herculaneum, Augusteum. September 2015. Augusteum model in Palazzo Reale showing locations of statues and paintings.

The Basilica was a large marble paved piazza, bordered by porticoes on all sides, and with a square exedra in the middle of the rear wall and an apse in each corner of the rear wall.

In the square exedra, at the rear centre in this model, were (left to right as seen here);

   The statue of the sitting Augustus (MANN 6040)

   The standing breast-plated Titus, centre, (MANN 6059)

   The statue of the sitting Claudius (MANN 6056).

In the apse, left rear corner in this model, were the paintings of;

   The liberation of the Athenian children at the hands of Theseus (MANN 9049)

   The musical education of Olympus by Marsyas (MANN 9151)

   In front of these was a bronze statue of Augustus (MANN 5595).

In the apse, right rear corner in this model, were the paintings of;

   The recognising of Telephus by Hercules (MANN 9008).

   The musical education of Achilles by Chiron (MANN 9109).

   In front of these was a bronze statue of Claudius as a heroic nude (MANN 5593).

Somewhere in the decoration of the side porticoes belonged a fresco of the life and labours of Hercules, and a panel with Medea (MANN 8976)

In the left portico were a bronze statue of Livia and a bronze statue of a priestess of Isis.

Many other statues of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and the Flavian dynasty were also found.

There is still much debate about the actual locations of items found.

La cosi detta Basilica è  una grande piazza pavimentata con lastre marmoree, bordata da portici su tutti i lati e con un'esedra quadrata al centro del lato di fondo, inquadrata da due absidi laterali. Nell'esedra centrale trovavano posto la statua loricata di Tito (MANN, inv. 6059) e quelle sedute di Claudio e di Augusto, raffigurati come Giove in trono (inv. 6040 e 6056); le absidi laterali erano decorate con i grandi quadri di IV Stile raffiguranti i seguenti soggetti: il riconoscimento di Telefo da parte di Ercole (inv. 9008), che si ritiene derivato dall'Hercules Aversus di Apelle citato da Plinio il Vecchio nel Tempio di Diana sull'Aventino; la liberazione dei fanciulli ateniesi per mano di Teseo (inv. 9049), l'educazione musicale di Olimpo a opera di Marsia (inv. 9151) e l'educazione musicale di Achille ad opera di Chirone (inv. 9109). Nei basamenti posti davanti alle absidi erano invece le statue bronzee di Augusto e Claudio in nudità eroica (inv.5595); alla decorazione dei portici laterali appartenevano infine un fregio illustrante episodi e imprese della vita di Ercole e un pannello con Medea (inv. 8976). Nell'edificio dovevano inoltre affollarsi statue di molti personaggi della dinastia giulio-claudia e di quella flavia. Varie sono le ipotesi moderne sulla destinazione di questo edificio; fra queste quella che vi riconosce l'Augusteum, l'edificio adibito al culto imperiale, la cui costruzione risalirebbe all’età claudia, con successivi aggiornamenti sul piano dell'arredo scultoreo.

Video of the Augusteum 3d model (CD. Basilica) in Herculaneum with frescoes and statues.

 

The so-called Basilica is a large square paved with marble slabs, edged by porticoes on all sides and with a square exedra in the centre of the bottom side, framed by two lateral apses. In the central Exedra were placed the armoured statue of Titus (MANN, Inv. 6059) and the seated statues of Claudius and Augustus, depicted as Jupiter enthroned (Inv. 6040 and 6056); The lateral apses were decorated with the large paintings of IV Stile depicting the following subjects: the recognition of Telephus by Hercules (Inv. 9008), which is believed to have been derived from the Hercules Aversus by the Greek painter Apelle cited by Pliny the Elder in the temple of Diana On the Aventine Hill; The liberation of the Athenian children at the hands of Theseus (Inv. 9049), the musical education of Olympus at the hands of Marsyas (Inv. 9151) and the musical education of Achilles by Chiron (Inv. 9109). On bases placed in front of the apses were the bronze statues of Augustus (Inv. 5595) and Claudius in heroic nudity (Inv. 5593); Finally, to the decoration of the side porches belonged a frieze illustrating episodes and feats of Hercules' life and a panel with Medea (Inv. 8976). The building also contained a large number of statues of many of members of the Giulio-Claudian and Flavian dynasties. There are many modern hypotheses about the purpose of this building; Among these is the Augusteum, the building used for the imperial cult, whose construction dates back to the age of Claudius, with subsequent updates on the floor of sculptural furnishings.
