Temple of Heliogabalus |
| Reconstruction of temple of Heliogabalus. This temple was dedicated to the Syrian Sun-god, Heliogabulus. It was built near the imperial palace on the Palatine by the emperor Elagabulus. Elagabulus, whose religious innovations caused much consternation, provided the sacred stone of the god from his chief sanctuary in Emesa, Syria. He also reportedly moved sacred objects from Roman temples here, including the fire of Vesta, the Palladium, and twelve archaic shields sacred to Mars. After the emperor's assassination, his cousin and successor Alexander Severus rededicated the temple to Jupiter Ultor. Labels: italy, roman empire, temple |

Second Temple Pilgrimage Route: ‘The steps are not silent anymore’ |
| The Jerusalem Post, covering the discovery of a Second Temple pilgrimage route, which was uncovered earlier this month (see here), has added a new spin to it with: ‘The steps are not silent anymore’.When interviewed, Uri Goldflam of Shalhevet Education and Consulting, reportedly stated: … the street was “once the main artery of Jerusalem, where Jews, pagans, Romans and Jewish-Christians, including Jesus, all walked on the narrow steps. It is even believed that Jesus used the adjacent pools near the street to heal the blind.” It was also deemed to have been, … metaphorically, “the last seam of independent Jews in Jerusalem,” Symbolically, this means, .. After Jews hid beneath the stairs from the Romans, and now as a free people, Jews can again walk above the street. After 2,000 years, the steps are not silent anymore.” Labels: dig, israel, jerusalem, pagan, roman empire, temple |

Corinth and Loutraki |
| Our first stop was Corinth. We spent time at the Roman Archeological site, seeing the podium where Paul the Apostle would come to speak, in the remnants of the Roman forum. Corinth was originally a powerful Greek city state, until the 2nd century BCE when the early Romans came and burnt it to the ground. The city was abandoned for about 100 years until Julius Caesar came to restore it. So the archeological remains are from the Roman times. A Greek archaic temple to Apollo does still survive partially, although it was pre Roman. Labels: entertainement, greece, roman empire, temple |

| Casket resurrects new vision of ancient Jerusalem
Despite massive excavations in recent years, few images exist to tell us what Jerusalem looked like in the first century – a period important to Christians as their founding as well as to Jews because of the flourishing and ultimate destruction of the Temple. That's why University of Cincinnati professor Steven Fine was thrilled – and surprised – to find an overlooked view of this revered city and era in an ancient artifact displayed at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
