Aaqbe

The archaeological site at Aaqbe in Lebanon features the remains of a Roman temple, which is part of the Mount Hermon group of temples. This temple is an example of an Antae temple, characterized by its rugged design and lack of decoration, indicative of Roman architectural styles during the Late Classical Period. Situated on a hill, the temple offers a commanding view of Mount Hermon, although its doorway intriguingly faces a northerly area covered by a ridge rather than the summit itself. The temple likely housed a cult statue in a niche, with only the framing columns surviving to this day. The presence of three sections of the east antae pillar further underscores the temple's historical and architectural significance in the region.
