Dr. Victoria Austen: 我认为奥古斯都建造陵墓是为了确保自己的纪念和身后名声，他想控制空间和时间，将自己与永恒联系起来。陵墓不仅仅是一个埋葬地点，它还是一个王朝纪念碑，旨在展示奥古斯都家族的权力和地位。陵墓的设计和位置都经过精心考虑，与其他奥古斯都纪念碑相连，共同构成了一个整体，象征着过去、现在和未来。此外，奥古斯都还利用植物的象征意义来增强陵墓的时间性，将自然与建筑融为一体。 Dr. Rad: 我对奥古斯都这个人持怀疑态度，我认为他很虚伪，总是试图控制一切。陵墓在他看来，就是一个关于谁能进入、谁不能进入的权力象征，他利用陵墓来排除异己，巩固自己的地位。我对奥古斯都的这种行为感到反感，我认为他是一个 manipulative 的人。 Dr. G: 我对奥古斯都的陵墓很感兴趣，我认为它是一个非常精心设计的建筑，体现了奥古斯都对细节的关注和组织能力。我喜欢陵墓中自然与建筑的融合，我认为这体现了奥古斯都对自然的尊重。虽然我也承认奥古斯都可能有一些缺点，但我仍然认为他是一个伟大的统治者，他的陵墓是一个重要的历史遗迹。

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
