Description
The temple façade was designed according to classical fashion. It contained major constitutional elements of classical architectural order, but its decoration was not classical at all. The architrave of the temple façade stood around 10m above ground. It was decorated with carved vines and animals, and had Medusa heads at the corners. The frieze above had figures of the Zodiac alternating with winged Victories, who crowned these figures. The discovered zodiac figures are, from left to right, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Libra and a fragment of a cuirassed Sagittarius; the others are very damaged or missing.
