View of the southern portion of the western wall of the Late Roman Temple in Antioch on the Orontes. This is the outer foundation wall of the Temple Platform; it is preserved to a height of 15 feet! It is built of opus caementicium (Roman concrete) with pebble stones and cement mortar. Compare the method of construction of the Late Roman Donuktaş Temple in Tarsus
The outer perimeter of the Temple measures 350 x 233 feet, which is larger than the Parthenon in Athens (228 x 101 feet)!
The trees in the picture are olive trees.
