Why "divus" in the title? The term wasn't uniformly used with the name/title "Augustus" after the emperor's death, and it's left in Latin for some reason rather than translated into English, as would be appropriate in the English Wikipedia. It sounds pretentious and potentially confusing. Diomedea Exulans (talk) 12:33, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is what the temple is usually called in English. Please view [1] for examples. -- L'ecrivant (talk) 12:40, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. See also Temple of Augustus, though there is a case for adding ", Rome" here. Johnbod (talk) 14:38, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
