Die neue Hera: Ein Tempel für Livia auf Samos

A newly deciphered inscription reveals that a small temple, the 'Prostylos,' built during the early Roman Imperial period at the Heraion of Samos, was dedicated to the deified Empress Livia, wife of Emperor Augustus. This discovery clarifies the identity of the temple's patron but leaves questions about its exact dating and the function of two adjacent structures, which appear to form a cohesive architectural ensemble with the Livia Temple. The study combines archaeological analysis with epigraphic evidence, suggesting that the site experienced significant development during both the Augustan and Claudian dynasties, though precise chronological distinctions remain challenging.
