LebanonA well-preserved 1st-century AD Roman temple dedicated to Azizos, the morning star deity of ancient Arab polytheism [1]. The modern Lebanese town of Bziza derives its name from this temple, a corruption of Beth Azizo meaning "house of Azizos" [1][2]. Emperor Julian identified Azizos with Ares [1]. The temple underwent Byzantine modifications [3].
