Controversy over this so-called synagogue has led to suggestions that it might rather be Christian given pagan elements in the design. The centrally depicted image is of the Syrian deity Elagabalus, a deified meteorite, which was taken to Rome and paraded in triumph by the emperor who shared the name. The decree was that this should be universally worshipped as a piece of the Sun & that temples should encourage representation of other religious iconography to indicate the homage of other deities. 124.189.9.57 (talk) 04:18, 1 August 2013 (UTC) Ian Ison[reply]
