The Romans formally adopted her worship in 204 BCE, when they brought a statue representing her from her main shrine in the Phrygian city of Pergamum back to Rome. This statue, from a site in Anatolia dating to the eighth or early seventh century BCE, depicts the Phrygian goddess with two youthful attendents playing a flute and harp.

From the 1st century BC and over a period of two centuries, the Romans built three temples here: Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus. The best preserved temple at the site is the Temple of Bacchus built in 150 AD. The ancient Roman temple was dedicated to Bacchus. Today, it is one of the top tourist attractions of a Roman tour in Lebanon." [/QB][/QUOTE]
