The Temple of Augustus was a pseudoperipteral hexastyle temple, with nine fluted Corinthian columns along each long side and a rectangular cella formed of white marble blocks [1]. The whole temple was built without the use of mortar [1]. Between the end of the 5th and the start of the 6th century the inhabitants of the town decided to rededicate the temple as a church to Proculus of Pozzuoli [1].
