Une stèle commémorant la construction par l’empereur Auguste du mur d’enceinte du temple de Montou-Rê à Médamoud.

Publication of a commemoration stela, currently located in the Cairo Museum basement, that shows that the largest mudbrick wall enclosing the temple of Montu-Ra in Medamud was built by the roman Emperor Augustus, and not Ptolemy III, as previously believed by some. The stela also gives the original dimensions of the partly destroyed wall unearthed in the 1920s by Ifao and the Louvre, under the supervision of F. Bisson de La Roque.
