The dating of this temple proved to be quite difficult. Based on the preserved architectural fragments, it dates from the early imperial period. It was probably dedicated to the Roman imperial cult. Several archaeologists assume that the temple building is more directly connected with the reconstruction of the originally Greek theatre below and thus falls within the reign of Emperor Augustus. Four ionic capitals have been preserved. The overall state of preservation can be described as poor. Stylobate and a three-stage circle remained. However, the scattered building elements and the preserved column bases on the stylobate are sufficient to reconstruct the original appearance. |
