Summary

Description
English: On the web can be found "The temple of Augustus was a hexastyle temple of the composite order. It was an unusual peripteral temple with a square naos and lavishly decorated composite columns with Acanthus bases, and garlands decorating the top of the shafts. Its entablatures frieze was decorated with alternating bucrania and tripods and its tympanum may had a window. The temple no longer exists as its materials have since partially been taken by Turks to build a mosque." The addition "Uzunyuva" by the original uploader is wrong, as that is a lone column still standing, probably part of a mausoleum that hasn't been researched properly until 2010. It is suggested it was "an "honor column" built by Menandros, the grandson of Euthydemos, the famous speaker and people's leader of the city of Mylasa, who died in 40 BC. An inscription was added on the column saying, “The people erected Menandros, the son of Uliades and the grandson of Euthydemus, the benefactor of the country and the son of the benevolent people here as statues.”
