¿Fue Baalbek el templo de Heliogábalo?: Nuevas evidencias

Abstract

Some years ago, Warwick Ball suggested that Temple of Elagabal in Emesa, never found, it is to be identified with the temple complex at Baalbek. More recently, Gary Young intended to show the weakness of the evidence which he provided for this assertion, as well as the falseness on some assumptions. We try to refute Young and demonstrate that the textual, archaeological and epigraphic evidence actually supports Ball’s theses, adding some new proofs.
