Temple of Zeus Theos, Dura-Europos

The Temple of Zeus Theos at Dura Europos was built in the second century AD and was among the most important sanctuaries of the city.

Above it was an inscription which named the builder as one Seleukos and the year of construction as AD 114.

[1] The excavators interpreted the inscription as referring to the completion of the exterior ("public") portions of the complex.

On the north and south sides of the court there was a series of rooms, most with benches lining all the walls.

On the side walls of the hall, there were three registers of images of the donors who had financed this temple and their family members.
