Eastern Quay

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:02:47

One of the best-preserved sections of the port is the Eastern Quay, with warehouses, the ruins of a watchtower and some of the loading docks. Look also for the imposing staircase of the Temple of Jupiter Dolichenus. Jupiter Dolichenus was a little-known Syrian deity at the time of Septimius Severus. It is believed that the appearance of a temple in his name at Leptis Magna was attributable to the fact that Septimius' wife was Syrian.
