Roman Temple of Hercules

The Temple of Hercules, also known as the Great Temple of Amman, is a Roman temple complex located on the Amman Citadel in Jordan, dating from the 2nd century AD. It was the principal temple within a Roman temenos (sacred precinct). Fragments of a colossal stone statue, identified as Hercules and estimated to have stood over 12 metres tall, were discovered at the site—only three fingers and an elbow survive. While not fully confirmed, coins found at the temple appear to represent Hercules, suggesting it was dedicated to the demigod. The site sits at 838 metres above sea level.[1][2]
