Temple of Taffeh
This temple was once situated in the vicinity of the Roman fortress of Taphis (Taffeh) in Nubia. Nowadays it has a place in the central hall of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden) in Leiden. It was a gift from the Egyptian authorities in acknowledgment of the Dutch participation in the campaign to save the Nubian monuments near Abu Simbel, which were under threat because of the building of the Aswan High Dam in the Nile. The temple was built during the reign of Roman emperor Augustus.
