  • The Bacchus Temple at Baalbek Defining Temple Function and the Language of Syncretism
    THE BACCHUS TEMPLE AT BAALBEK DEFINING TEMPLE FUNCTION AND THE LANGUAGE OF SYNCRETISM SAM BAROODY The Bacchus temple in Baalbek, Lebanon, provides an excellent example of a translation of Roman religion in one of the most religiously diverse regions of the Roman world. The temple is inconclusively associated with Bacchus–the result of one archaeologist’s tenuous interpretation of iconographic features along the temple’s door and adyton. Rather than identify the temple based on traditional religious and architectural systems, this paper interprets the temple based on its function. This paper compares the Phoenician Temple of Astarte in Cyprus and the Biblical description of Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem to the Bacchus temple’s form and function and, to a lesser extent, that of the temple of Jupiter Heliopolitanus, the main feature of the Baalbek complex. My analysis proposes that the Bacchus temple represents an invaluable example of Roman religious translation, a place which synthesizes and codifies two local religious traditions and presents them under one roof. Scholars must grapple with the question of how Rome interacted with the local cultures that made up its vast empire.1 Identifying, commenting on, and critiquing Roman assimilation and multiculturalism has always piqued my interest, especially with regards to the various buildings Rome erected throughout the lands it occupied and colonized. From that perspective, this paper examines the so-called Temple of Bacchus in Baalbek, Lebanon, and investigates the various anomalies and features of this building that 1 The original version of this paper was read at the Sapiens Ubique Civis Conference held at the University of Szeged in Hungary in August 2013; I am grateful to the University and to the conference committee and organisers for inviting me to participate.
