3D Baalbek - Temple of Jupiter model

The present Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek presumably replaced an earlier one using the same foundation; it was constructed during the mid-1st century and probably completed around ad 60.

His idol was a beardless golden god in the pose of a charioteer, with a whip raised in his right hand and a thunderbolt and stalks of grain in his left; its image appeared on local coinage and it was borne through the streets during several festivals throughout the year.

After centuries of wars and several earthquakes, only 6 of the 58 original columns are still standing, forming one of the most iconic symbols of Lebanon.
