Built next to the main temple when the holy site was refurbished and extended, the minor temple (approx. 7.40 m x 13.30 m) is constructed in an indefinite style from small limestone blocks, with no podium. It has a very simple plan: a single, slightly elevated cella and pronaos with four brick columns at the front.
The cella is almost square in shape and still has the remnants of plaster on its walls. It is paved in red opus signinum, decorated with small tesserae in order to form three "rugs" around the masonry remains of a base positioned behind the back wall where the statue of the god would have stood.
A partly damaged inscription, bearing the names of the eponymous magistrate Ni. Dekitiis Mi. and the builder G. Paapis Mitileis, stands out in the area behind the entrance threshold.
The temple can be dated to the early 1st century B.C. on the basis of this inscription. |
