Temple of Gareus

The Temple of Gareus is located in Uruk in Iraq and probably dates to c. 110 AD.

[need quotation to verify] The temple was made of fired bricks and consisted of a single room.

The structure was originally covered in plaster and decorated with a frieze depicting mythical creatures.

[2] An inscription was found near the temple, which refers to the otherwise unknown god Gareus.

The remains of various statues and two bronze feet, which were probably part of the cult image, were found in the temple area.
