An Augusteum (plural Augustea) was originally a site of the imperial cult of ancient Rome, named after the imperial title of Augustus. It was known as a Sebasteion in the Greek East of the Roman Empire. Examples have been excavated in Sebaste / Samaria, Constantinople, Aphrodisias, Antioch and Cartagena.
Since the 18th century the term has also been used for certain academic buildings, such as the Augustea in Leipzig, Wittenberg, and Oldenburg.
