Description: The rock face of the acropolis was quarried to serve as the rear wall of a sanctuary dedicated to Silvanus. Four Latin inscriptions that list various members of the association were engraved on this rear wall. One of the inscriptions documents some members’ donations to the building of the temple, including 400 roofing tiles and entrance steps cut into the extant rock. The interior included two bronze statues of Silvanus, a painting of Olympus, and marble statues of Herakles, Mercury, and Liber.
