Trophy of Augustus

Highlight • Other

On the coastal road that connects Italy to the Maritime Alps, the Trophée de La Turbie marks the southern end of the range just before it drops into the Bay of Monaco. This in the year 7 or 6 B.C. Erected in 500 BC to celebrate the final subjugation of the Alpine population to Rome, it is an impressive monument from the period of ancient Rome and marks an important step in the development of imperial propaganda: its heroic architecture is reminiscent of the military achievements of Augustus and honor him as a god. Decayed into ruins in late antiquity, the Trophée became a heavily contested fortress from the Middle Ages. Restored in the mid-19th century, the building underwent extensive excavation and restoration work at the beginning of the 20th century, during which the western facade was completely reconstructed, preserving the remains in a spectacular form that became his most famous image. The preserved monument is at once a Roman ruin trophy, a dismantled fortress and a creation of neoclassical architects.
