Ghine village in the foothills above Jounieh is interesting
for its Roman and Byzantine remains found at a place known as
"Keb'al el-Hosain." A well marked stepped path
descends from the village, where you will find the ruins of a
Roman temple that is the 5th century was made into a church
with a mosaic floor. Nearby are rock-cut tombs with funerary
bas reliefs above the
entrances.
One of the scenes is a Roman funerary rock carving
representing a wild animal attacking a hunter. Local tradition
says this is a representation of Phoenicia's god, Adonis,
being killed by a wild boar.
