Majdel Anjar

Large rectangular Roman temple on top of the tel, built 41-48 CE, and converted into a fortress in the mediaeval period will documented by Aliquot¹.  Taylor provides two photographs of the exterior in the 1960s².

NB: There is some confusion as to the location of Gherra given on this map as being the late Roman/Ummayad fort of Anjar. Against Majdel Anjar is the probable name Chalcis for this site, but the two locations are very close, and there is confusion.
