The Monument

In the 6th century B.C., the Roman Senate decided to have this trophy raised in the honour of Caesar’s nephew, Octavius Augustus, who had just overthrown the remaining Ligurian tribes. The trophy symbolised the power and unity of the Roman Empire, and stood at the key point of Alpis Summa on the border between the Gaul and Italy. The trophy originally was 49 meters high and supported a giant statue of the Emperor. It was restored par Jules Formigé in the 20th century.

Construction and consolidation continued for almost a century.
