- Title
HELIOPOLIS: COINS, TEMPLES, AND SIGHT LINES.
- Authors
BUTCHER, KEVIN
- Abstract
Recent research on the temples at Roman Heliopolis (Baalbek in modern Lebanon) has emphasized visual links between architectural elements within and between the sanctuaries. This paper explores the ways in which the representations of the temples and sanctuaries on the civic coinage of Heliopolis can contribute to this debate. The civic coins are here understood as objects which helped to construct identity and communal memory in the city that issued them.
