Two Roman dated temples survive in reasonable state and the southern one whose foundation construction detail is shown in this photo is dedicated to the crocodile Gods of Pnepheros and Petesuchos. Many finds have been made especially of life in a residential area with houses scattered throughout the site and there is also a fine Roman bathhouse.
