| Summary: | This article deals with the functions of the architectural complex of the middle terrace in the Northern Palace at Masada, which comprises two parts: the round structure (tholos) and five rectangular niches. A close and detailed study of these architectural elements and comparisons with other similar architectural elements, like those in Israel (Paneas/Banias), Italy (Augustus' palace on the Palatine Hill and Forum of Augustus in Rome, Villa Hadriana in Tivoli) and Greece (round temples of the Classical-Hellenistic and Roman periods), indicate the religiouscultic purpose of the architectural complex of the middle terrace at Masada. Le complexe architectural de la terrasse moyenne du palais Nord à Massada est en deux parties : la structure ronde (tholos) et cinq niches rectangulaires. Une étude détaillée de ces éléments est menée, les comparant à d'autres éléments semblables, comme, en Israël, Paneas/Banias, en Italie, le palais d'Auguste sur le Palatin, le forum d'Auguste et la Villa Hadriana à Tivoli, et en Grèce, les temples ronds des périodes Classiques-hellénistiques et romaines. L'enquête conclut à une fonction religieuse et cultuelle du complexe. |
