The richness of the chosen plant elements of such an historically important monument, and their accurate disposition, highlight how they do not play only an ornamental role, but appear to be tools of a clear symbolic-allegoric intention linked to the political manifesto of the becoming empire.
In this volume the constitutive elements of this botanical alphabet and the rules of organization of the iconographic language are illustrated and finally it is suggested the reading of the Augustus' message of a new prosperity, in a rebirth process, possible thanks to peace, trough a never ending transformation which is projected onto eternity
