The Temple of Adonis in Dura-Europos was discovered by a French-American expedition of Yale University led by Michael Rostovtzeff and was excavated between 1931 and 1934. The temple complex was the last great temple of the city to be built under Parthian rule (113 BC – AD 165). It consists of a number of buildings grouped around a courtyard. It takes up half an insula (city block), with the surrounding residential buildings forming the boundaries of the temenos. Several different rooms with benches on all the walls were grouped around the courtyard. On the north side, there was a portico with two columns. Two reliefs were found here, one depicting either Atargatis or Tyche, and the other of the god Arsu riding a camel. The actual temple was located in the south and had consisted of a prona

  • Der Adonis-Tempel in Dura Europos wurde zwischen 1931 und 1934 von einer amerikanisch-französischen Expedition der Yale University unter Leitung von Michael Rostovtzeff entdeckt, ausgegraben und beschrieben. Der bereits in parthischer Zeit errichtete Tempelkomplex ist um einen Hof gruppiert und nimmt die Hälfte einer Insula ein, wobei die angrenzenden Wohnbauten gleichzeitig die Begrenzung des Temenos darstellen. Um den Hof waren diverse mit Bänken an allen Wänden ausgestattete Räume gruppiert. Im Norden befindet sich ein Portikus mit zwei Säulen. Hier fand sich ein Relief, das entweder Atargatis oder Tyche zeigt. Der eigentliche Tempel lag dabei im Süden mit Vorhalle und eigentlicher Cella. Freigelegte nur in Fragmenten erhaltene Wandmalereien zeigen auf der linken Seite eine Statue und links davon eine Familie, die an einem Feueraltar dem Gott ein Opfer darreicht. Die Szene ist rekonstruiert. Im Tempelkomplex fand sich ein weiteres Relief, das eine Gottheit auf einem Kamel, wahrscheinlich Arsu, darstellt. Es ist der letzte große Tempel der Stadt, der noch unter parthischer Herrschaft errichtet wurde. Zahlreiche Inschriften, die sich im Tempel fanden, machen es gut möglich, die Geschichte des Heiligtums zu verfolgen. Es können zwei Bauphasen unterschieden werden. Drei Inschriften datieren jeweils in die Jahre 152, 152/153 und 157/158 n. Chr. und markieren die erste Bauphase. Die älteste Inschrift (Juli oder August 152) befindet sich auf einem Türsturz über den Pronaos. Sie ist nicht gut erhalten, jedoch ist die Datierung sicher. Das Hauptheiligtum ist dementsprechend wahrscheinlich um 150 n. Chr. gegründet worden. Eine zweite Bauphase datiert in die Jahre 175 bis 182 n. Chr. Am 24. September 175 weihte Gorpiaeus Thaesamsus einen Altar, in dessen Inschrift auch ausdrücklich Adonis genannt wird. Im Jahr 181/182 (dem Jahr 493 der seleukidischen Zeitrechnung, die allen Inschriften im Heiligtum gebraucht wurde) errichteten schließlich ein gewisser Solaeas und Boubaues ein Peristyl und einen Weinkeller.

  • The Temple of Adonis in Dura-Europos was discovered by a French-American expedition of Yale University led by Michael Rostovtzeff and was excavated between 1931 and 1934. The temple complex was the last great temple of the city to be built under Parthian rule (113 BC – AD 165). It consists of a number of buildings grouped around a courtyard. It takes up half an insula (city block), with the surrounding residential buildings forming the boundaries of the temenos. Several different rooms with benches on all the walls were grouped around the courtyard. On the north side, there was a portico with two columns. Two reliefs were found here, one depicting either Atargatis or Tyche, and the other of the god Arsu riding a camel. The actual temple was located in the south and had consisted of a pronaos and the actual naos. Wall paintings which were discovered in a fragmentary state, depicted a state and a family making an offering to the god on a fire altar at left. The scene has been reconstructed. Several inscriptions found in the sanctuary make it possible to follow the history of the sanctuary in detail. It can be divided into two construction phases. Three inscriptions dating to AD 152, 152/152, and 157/158 mark the first phase. The oldest inscription (July or August 152) was located on the lintel of the door to the pronaos. It is not well preserved, but the dating is secure. The main sanctuary was thus probably founded in AD 150. A second phase of construction took place in the years 175–182. On 24 September 175, Gorpiaeus Thaesamsus dedicated an altar with an inscription which explicitly named Adonis. In 181/182 (year 493 of the Seleucid era, which is employed by all the sanctuary's inscriptions), two people called Solaeas and Boubaues erected a peristyle and a wine cellar. (en)
