Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Temple of Apollo Aktios, or the Temple of Actian Apollo was a Greco-Roman temple located at Actium, at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf in northwestern Greece. First established by the Corinthian colony of Anaktorium around 625 BCE, it was located on a hill and within its sanctuary according to Strabo and served as a focal point of the cult of Apollo Aktios, a god associated with the sea and navigation. In particular, the site gained prominence after the pivotal Battle of Actium in 31 BCE when Octavian (later Emperor Augustus) defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII. To commemorate his victory, Octavian expanded the temple. Archaeological investigations have revealed evidence of three distinct construction phases, reflecting the site's evolution from its archaic origins to the Roman period.
