Summary: Two thousand years after the death of Augustus was the moment that enabled the opportunity for different events (conferences and expositions), and that was precisely the framework for the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres to propose a oneday conference (held in December 2014) to study the Augusteum, discovered in 1995 at Narona (Roman province of Dalmatia, now in Croatia) by Professor Emilio Marin, who had offered a fi rst presentation of this Augusteum to the Académie as early as in 1996. That building remarkably preserved, the number of Julio-Claudian statues excavated inside, the epigraphical evidence collected on the site, all that is representing an extraordinary treasure to witness the rise and fall of an imperial shrine, today one of the most outstanding monuments of the imperial cult in the Roman world. In the conference, several members and correspondents of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, together with other international experts, exposed their archaeological and historical points of view on the specifi c topics as well as some more global discussions on the nature of the Augustan power.
