Hebbariyeh Roman Temple

The Hebbariyeh Roman Temple is a 2nd-century AD structure in the Hasbaya District of Lebanon's Nabatieh Governorate, on the southwestern slopes of Mount Hermon. Dedicated to Baal Jad, it is classified as an antae temple with an eastern portal aligned to catch the first beams of the morning sun rising over Hermon. The temple measures approximately 17 meters long by 9 meters wide, with walls standing 8 meters high. It features an Ionic pillar, a southern frieze, and two tiers of niches with a six-line Greek inscription. A large basement chamber beneath the cella floors, accessible only from outside, is thought to have served as a burial space. It is the southernmost of the Mount Hermon temple group.
