In Roman North Africa, Baal Hammon was worshipped as Saturnus Africanus; thousands of votive stelae to Saturnus from Roman North Africa continue the Baal Hammon tradition. Tertullian (Apology 9) identifies ""Saturnus"" as the North African deity who receives child sacrifice. The molk rite — child sacrifice to Baal Hammon — persisted in the Saturnus Africanus cult in vestigial forms. The identification reflects shared chthonic and agricultural associations: both Saturn/Kronos and Baal Hammon are associated with time, the cycles of harvest, and the demands of divine sovereignty.
