 The construction of a new wider sanctuary was started after the Bar Kokhba revolt (AD 136); the propylaeum was completed in AD 150 during the reign of emperor Antoninus Pius, while the temple was never finished.The portico around the cella was designed with six by eleven columns, of which only eleven columns in the pronaos are still standing, 13.20 m high.The Corinthian capitals are very well preserved and bear the signature of "Hygeinos", the contractor in charge of carving the bases, shafts and capitals of the columns.
