ANGYRA (Ancient city) TURKEY
The monument at Ancyra (now Angora), a marble wall, of which
the greater part is preserved. It belonged to the temple of Augustus at Ancyra,
and contained the Latin text of a Greek translation of the report drawn up by
that emperor himself on the actions of his reign (index rerum a se gestarum).
By the terms of his will this report, engraved in bronze, was set up in front
of his mausoleum at Rome, and copies were made of it for other temples of Augustus
in the provinces.
