Carthage Temple of Saturn
Carthage Temple of Saturn submitted by AlexHunger : Saturn was the Romanized/rehabilitated version of the local semitic God Baal. Otherwise there are very few temples of Saturn in the Roman Empire. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Village or Settlement in Tunisia

The remains of the ancient Punic city of Carthage is spread out over a half dozen sites among luxury villas in this wealthy subburb of modern Tunis.
While scant attention is paid to Saturn in the rest of the Roman empire, he has a high status in the North African colony as essentially a romanized ontinuation of Baal-Amon. The Tophet with the original Baal Amon Moloch, is about 1 KM away, but it is possible there may be punic remains under this temple. 47 meters altitude
