small almost circular amphitheatre with three stages of seating and an internal diameter of 12.5 m. 75 m northeast of the fort, the ruin of a temple to the Dii Campestres or army gods was found. Pieces of painted fresco, including a half-size head of a deity, were recovered, along with offerings such as sea-shells and gazelle horns. At a distance of 700m (hence outside the town vallum) was another temple, of mudbrick on a masonry base. A ciborium contained a small sculptured stone lion seated before a 30 cm statuette of a goddess in richly painted terracotta. The goddess held a cornucopia and was either a personification of Africa, or the goddess Cybele. In the interior courtyard were two stelae representing the sacrifice of a ram to Saturn. Many vases and amphorae were found in the temple, holding ashes and burnt fragments of animal bones. In the area around the temple were also found roughly fashioned approximately life-sized prone human figures which may have been used to incinerate animal sacrifices.
