Dougga Temple of Saturn
Dougga Temple of Saturn submitted by AlexHunger : Saturn was the Roman equivalent to the Punic Baal-Amon. The earlier temple at this Numidian-Roman City was removed to make way for this classic structure. There is suposed to be an early Numidean Hypogeum behind this temple, which I unfortunately could not visit this time.
