The inhabitants of Dougga were not ungrateful to these good citizens for their unusual liberality; they appear to have voted a statue to one of them at least, the pedestal of which was discovered by M. Guérin.[210]
The precincts of this temple are in a state of great filth and neglect. It is surrounded on every side by rude Arab huts, and is used as a yard for sheep and oxen, the handsome flight of steps leading to it are partly buried in a thick layer of manure, and we found it impossible from any point to obtain a view showing the whole columns from base to capital. Nevertheless my companion made some excellent photographs of it, which testify in a remarkable manner to the conscientious accuracy of Bruce’s drawings, when not marred by the unfortunate accessories of Balugani.

One day at Dougga is quite insufficient. I would recommend anyone having abundant time at his disposal to encamp for a week amongst its delightful shady groves.
