Pop quiz for aficionados of antiquities: where are the biggest Roman ruins located? Not Rome, as you might be inclined to think, but rather the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. With plague anxieties persisting, however, they might as well be on the surface of Mars. Which is why a new virtual-tourism venture exploring Baalbek, home to the largest Roman temple ever built, as well as an array of other grandiose ancient structures, is so well-timed.
Known by the 4th-century Greeks as Heliopolis, or the City of Sun, the hilltop complex was named after the Phoenician god Baal and was first inhabited as early as 9000 BC. But it was during the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar that Baalbek (also spelled Baalbeck), would come into its own as a colony and venerated holy site. By AD 150 its three temples Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus attracted thousands of pilgrims, and today its colossal structures are considered among the finest examples of Imperial Roman architectural prowess.
