This is my speculative reconstruction of the Great Ceasarium of Alexandria as it might of appeared in 30 BC. This was built by Cleopatra to honor the death of her lover Julius ceasar and was placed right next to the harbor angled from the rest of the citys grid pattern so it could be facing the ships as they sailed in, it was also home to cleopatras needles, two obelisks that survive today in london and new york city.
Very little is actually known of the temple besides its location and it being offset from the citys grid pattern so ive based my build on the only actual model i could find that was michael bengtssons very beautiful speculated reconstruction of alexandrias great palace district

Have you consaidered also doing a version of this in Byzantine times, when the Caesareum became the main Patriarchal Cathedral of Alexandria?
