The opposite end of the new forum. These steps originally led to an imposing temple, but nearly everything is now rubble. A severe earthquake in 365AD caused enormous damage both here and at Sabratha, and neither city really recovered. Most of the walls here have been reconstructed from the pieces that were lying here.
