DIANA TEMPLE - CARNUNTUM, VIL The vestiges of a small temple were found 1986-1987. The two longitudinal walls were pulled forward to the north looking in anteroom with 1.50 m depth. Between the two walls stood columns. On three sides the 0,70 m wide foundations were made of quarrystone. The eastern wall was not preserved, but the formerly run could be seen as a ghost wall. So the floorplan results in a cella with a vestibule of total 6x6,45 (= 20x21,5 roman foot). The southern wall is trengthened in its middle by a post made of quarrystones. The entrance of the temple was placed on the northern side and was in connection with the offshore street portico. Because the column's bases of the portico feature exactly in flight of the temple entrance a wider space than the others. The origin of the small sanctuary dates back to the beginning of 4th century A.D. The building proves that Colonia Septimia Aurelia Antoniniana Kamuntum went through a magnificent architectural evenin this time.

Head of Diana-Nemesis The identification of the small marble head discovered in 1956 as that of the huntressgoddess Diana is based on a series of similar sculptures discovered in Carnuntum and other roman sites. The location indicates that the head was part of a marble statuette wich was used as a cult figure in the small, secondary street temple erected along the „Limesstraße" in the civil town. Her hair is parted in the middle, curled under on the sides and forming a knot at the back on the head. The surface of the hair has fine waves. The ears are largely covered and both cheekbones are decorated with a curl. A crescent shaped diadem, or crown, sits on her forehead. She is looking slightly upwards and her neck is turning to her left shoulder. Her mouth is closed and her lips, turning up at the corners, are strong and full.
