A dedication of the temple erected by a detachment of the
3rd Legion in 225 AD which was garrisoned at Golas under the command of the centurion T. Flavius Apronianus reads the following :"deo marti canapphari avgvsto..."Canapphari (or Canappharis) is an indigenous berber deity equated with the Roman
Mars. He therefore has the same characteristics as Sinifere, god of war, mentioned in these same regions three centuries later by
Corripus. It is probable that Sinifere and Canapphari are the same name, laboriously transcribed at different times. == References ==
