Temple of Gens Septimia

The temple, of Italic type, stands on a high podium and leans against the south-western perimeter wall of the forum. It was accessed from the square by an imposing flight of steps at the front. The columns that surrounded the temple on three sides were made of red granite, and rested on tall white marble dice decorated with gigantomachia scenes (three are on display at the Museum of Tripoli, one at the Museum of Leptis Magna).
