Rome31: Augustus Closing the Temple of Janus #畫羅馬(三十一 )奧古斯都關閉雅努斯神廟 #旅遊 #旅行

Following years of #Civil War, Octavian, #Julius Caesar’s grand-nephew and adopted son, was granted the title Augustus, Princeps Civitatis (First Citizen) of Rome on 16 January 27 BC. In this celebratory painting by #Louis de Silvestre, Augustus orders the doors at both ends of the Temple of Janus to be closed. The temple, which stood in the Forum of Ancient Rome, had been built by Numa Pompilius, the legendary second king of Rome, and contained a statue of the two-faced god, who looks to the future and the past. The Gates of Janus, as its doors were known, were closed when Rome was at peace and opened in times of war: they were usually open.

#奧古斯都(#屋大維)( 前63年9月23日—14年8月19日蓋烏斯·屋大維·圖里努斯Gaius Octavius Thurinus)),是#羅馬帝國的開國君主。歷史學家通常以他的頭銜「奧古斯都」(神聖、至尊的意思)來稱呼他。他統治羅馬長達43年,結束了一個世紀的內戰,使羅馬帝國進入了相當長一段和平、繁榮的輝煌時期,史稱羅馬和平。

前32年,#屋大維向安東尼宣戰,在他的得力將領#Agrippa 的策劃指揮下,取得了#阿克提烏姆(Actium)海戰勝利,擊敗了安東尼。

法國畫家路易斯·德·西爾維斯特 (Louis de Silvestre)在《奧古斯都關閉雅努斯神廟》描述了屋大維擊敗安東尼凱旋回羅馬后命令關閉雅努斯神廟的大門,人們爲此慶祝的場面。雅努斯神廟是由羅馬第二任國王努瑪·龐皮利烏斯 (Numa Pompilius) 于公元前七世紀建造,裡面有一座雙面門神的雕像。 雅努斯之門在羅馬和平時期處於關閉狀態,在戰爭時期打開。屋大維將其關閉,是告訴人們在他統治期間不再發動戰爭。
