projects 80cm from the wall on all sides.

deep and rich while the frieze, in two
members, is carved with ^ the meander and ^ foliate designs
in high relief. The grape vine ornament
is conspicuous. The style of the decoration
would assign the monument to the period
of the early Antonines and an inscription
bearing the name of Antoninus was found
upon a fragment corresponding to one of
the decorative bands.

One of the most interesting points about
this temple is its site - a considerable
portion of the ancient terminus ^ a paved court ^ is preserved.
Its limits can be determined, if the position
of the temple was symmetrical for the
line of the northern wass is plainly visible
and a line of columns can be traced to the East.
