ABSTRACT
A tiny anaglyph, originally from Mérida, is made in the form of a miniature hexastyle temple. Whether the aedicula reproduces the « Temple of Diana » (the municipal temple of the imperial cult) is uncertain but the relic must in any event have been placed as a donarium within one of the temples at the colony of Augusta Emerita. An inscription on the architrave shows that the « templecillo » was dedicated to Divus Antoninus Pius. Did the donor believe that he had received supernatural aid from the deified emperor ?
