Abstract

At the site of the Roman city of Cillium, near Kasserine in central Tunisia, the ruins of a temple stand near the highest point of the ancient town, midway between the third-century arch and the theatre. The temple was of characteristic Roman design ; its small size makes it virtually certain that the pronaos was tetrastyle. There are slight indications of a colonnaded enclosure in front. Plan and situation, together with the presence of a statue base inscribed with the word GENIO, favour the identification of the temple as the Capitolium of the municipium (later colonia) of Cillium, but it is not possible to date its construction.
