When the / Romans came into possession they accepted Helios as / Jupiter, and so the great Temple, of which the ruins are / shown above, was dedicated to Jupiter of Heliopolis, whose / worship spread into Italy itself. Antonius Pius (A.D. / 138-161) was the imperial initiator of these temples, the / broken stones from which can still awaken our wonder. / SYRIA.
