Baalbek, Temple of Bacchus from northwest (photo: Frauberger 1892, fig.7)

This 1892 photo by Frauberger shows the Temple of Bacchus from the northwest (i.e., with the north side at left and the west side at right).
The temple was built by the Romans in the second century AD and much of the structure is relatively intact. Its peristyle of forty-two unfluted Corinthian columns (nineteen still standing) flanks largely well-preserved exterior walls. The temple was roofed with cedar trusses.
