The bibliography on the Ara Gentis Iuliae is extensive. The following two references provide a good starting point for further research:

• Rehak, P. 1990. "The Ionic Temple Relief in the Capitoline: The Temple of Victory on the Palatine?" Journal of Roman Archaeology 3: 172-86.
• Kleiner, D. 1992. Roman Sculpture. New Haven: Yale University Press. 141-5.

For more information on Roman religion and images of religious ritual in Roman art, consult:

• Ryberg, I. S. 1955. Rites of the State Religion in Roman Art. Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome 22. Rome: American Academy in Rome.

The reconstruction of the Ara Gentis Iuliae presented here is based on several recent scholarly hypotheses. The arrangment of the relief sculptures, however, is entirely arbitrary, as no evidence survives as to their original placement. For the association between the Valle-Medici reliefs and the Ara Gentis Iuliae, see the article by Rehak cited above.
