## Image Caption

Two monumental [temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/)-tombs in the ancient [city](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/) of Imbriogon in [Cilicia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Cilicia/) (modern-day [Turkey](https://www.worldhistory.org/Asia_Minor/)) dating to the second and third centuries CE. The overall design of the tombs with columns and a standard entablature produces the effect of small temples.
