TEMPLE OF HERCULES

Between the sea baths and the temple of Hercules in the south-east, we pass in front of a residential and commercial area where the mosaics of mosaics or the walls of foundations used to support the pillars on the upper floors of the houses are noted. In contrast to the site of Leptis Magna, the remains of Sabratha allow for an idea of urban habitat in Roman times.

The temple of Hercules was built in 186. During the excavations, a statue of the Greek hero was brought to light. The eastern building was housed in a small thermal baths in the late th century. In the frigidarium (cold bath) has been discovered a mosaic where one can read, among toilet accessories, that "it is beneficial to wash". It is now visible at the museum. At this point of the visit, the most pressed will go directly to the Roman theatre, culminating in the visit of Sabratha. The others will further explore the eastern part of the site.
