That is a great reconstruction image of Pan. Where did you get it? I believe that Zvi Ma‘oz with the IAA was the early Archaelogist on it. As usual, an old Byzantine (I think) Church was built over the site by the Constantine Church in the 4th Century, and rebuilt in the 5th Century. The significance of the God Pan and the depiction of Nymphs were a symbol of combination of the physical pleasure centers in early Roman Culture related to the symbolic fertility of the Spring snow melt from Mt. Hermon, which fed the fertile valleys below, including the Bekaa.
