THE TEMPLE OF KHNUM AT ESNA

The Temple of Khnum at Esna was built during the Ptolemaic period, with decorative elements added during Roman times. The surviving parts of the temple boast most interesting relief in honour of emperor such as Vespasian, Titus, Domitian, Antoninus Pius, Septimius Severus, Trajan and Decius. This seldom-visited temple has some amazingly well preserved colours, especially on the floral column capitals.
