TEMPLE OF SUEZ AT CYRENE
Cyrene was the most important of the five Greek colonies. This temple was destroyed during a Jewish rebellion in 115 AD, and was restored 5 years later by the Romans on order of EMPEROR HADRIAN. In 365 AD an earthquake reduced a part of the temple and it was not rebuilt till modern times by British and Italian archaeologist. This temple is larger than the Parthenon, a reflection of the wealth and importance Cyrene in the ancient Greek world.
