Description
In 1816-17 some Corinthian pillars of Roman origin, and perhaps 2000 years old, were brought from North Africa. These were a gift to the Prince Regent (later George IV) and had been brought from Lepcis Magna in Tripoli, a Roman town. In 1826-7, following a period of storage in The British Museum, 'The Ruins' were erected by Sir Jeffrey Wyatville so as to suggest the remains of an ancient temple, known as 'The Temple of the Gods'.
