Ancient Temple in Bern
Auf dem geschichtsträchtigen Jäissberg ist diese sehenswerte Römische Tempelanlage zu sehen. Es ist anzunehmen dass sie auf einer frühgeschichtlichen, keltischen Anlage hinein gebaut wurde. Vorallem im westlichen Teil (zum Keltenwall hin) gibt es hinweise auf ältere Erdbauten.
Zum Petinesca gehört auch das sogenannte "Tor von Petinesca" am Ortsrand von Studen/BE.
Seit dem 17. Jahrhundert werden die römischen Überreste in Studen mit der Örtlichkeit Petinesca in Verbindung gebracht, die auf der Tabula Peutingeriana (spätrömische Strassenkarte) und im Itinerarium Antonini (römisches Reisehandbuch) festgehalten ist.

Translation (Abstract)
This remarkable Roman temple stands on the historic part of the Jäissberg Hill. It can be assumed that it was built on top of a prehistoric (Celtic) construction. Evidences of previous earthworks are particularly visible in the western part (for Keltenwall out). The name Petinesca has also been given to the "Gate of Petinesca", on the outskirts of Studen (Canton Bern). Since the 17th century, the Roman remains in Studen have been associated with "Petinesca", a place figured on the "Tabula Peutingeriana" (late Roman Road) and mentioned in the "Itinerarium Antonini".
