Temple of Hercules\”Minerva”
Tebessa, Algeria
3rd Century CE
9 m. in Height
The temple of tebessa was Corinthian , four columns on its principal face; It is tetrastyle, but also prostyle, with truncated pyramid columns engaged in the walls of the sanctuary; It was 4 meters high above the outer level; It was reached by a staircase of twenty steps. Length of 15 meters by 9 in width and 9 in height, its interior ornamentation is of the simplest; The outer frieze, on the contrary, is richly ornamented.
The pilasters are decorated with the heads of rams and bulls with their strips of sacrifice. Seen from the front, eagles with open wings, holding in their claws two serpents, adorn those of greater dimensions; These eagles were taken for owls, birds of Minerva, who gave him his denomination.
To these motifs are added horns of abundance; We see a head of ocean in the middle of a basket of fruit. Would there be a sloping roof, or a series of statues erected along the ridge.
