C'est un tout nouveau monument qui va s'élever sur les ruines du temple d'Agrippa; non content d'en changer l'orientation (le nouveau temple s'ouvrira désormais vers le nord), la planimétrie de l'ensemble va totalement être revue. Le sanctuaire s'élève désormais au fond d'une longue place portiquée auquel on accédait par un petit escalier. La façade du bâtiment se présente encore de nos jours sous la forme d'un octostyle classique constitué d'énormes colonnes monolithiques de granit gris d'Égypte [...] 5, record 1, French, - octostyle
