KHURHA Iran.

Near Qum on the road between Qum and Arak are the remains of a Seleucid temple. Two columns of the peristyle stand intact. Smooth stone shafts, 11 diameters in height, stand on two high plinths and a still higher torus: the capitals are rather poorly understood Ionic. The temple awaits excavation. Set in a region of vineyards, the area is strewn with the sherds of wine jugs and it has been suggested that the temple was dedicated to Dionysos.
