Wörlitz, Borghese and a Selene altar
![](https://www.historicalgardensblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0100.jpg)
An altar dedicated to Selene (Luna) in the garden of Wörlitz bears a close resemblance to a 2nd century Roman Selene altar that used to stand in the Temple of Diana in the garden of Villa Borghese (now in the Louvre). The Wörlitz altar is a late 18th century version and not an exact copy.
