This is a view looking east along the southern portion of the outer foundation wall of the Temple Platform of the Late Roman Temple in Antioch on the Orontes. The entrance to the temple through this wall is beyond the olive tree on the right side of the image.
Note the shallow excavation in front of the wall.
The outer foundation wall of the Temple Platform is preserved to a height of 15 feet! It is built of opus caementicium (Roman concrete) with pebble stones and cement mortar.
The outer perimeter of the Temple measures 350 x 233 feet, which is larger than the Parthenon in Athens (228 x 101 feet)!
