French term or phrase: un temple de type gréco-latin
Le bâtiment visible au premier plan semble être ***un temple de type gréco-latin*** dans lequel la base de deux colonnes, la limite de la cella et la base de l’autel ou du socle d’une divinité sont particulièrement visibles.

Should I translate "gréco-latin" as Greco-Latin or Greco-Roman?

Greco-Roman/Graeco-Roman
Explanation:
I would not use Greco-Latin in English in this case, since it has to do with the architectural style, not the language. The alternative spelling "Graeco-Roman" is also used, though "Greco-" is also used, particularly in North America according to my dictionary (Chambers).

e.g.

"The second period is represented by the splendid, though small, temple of Garni, following the general design of a Greco-Roman temple so characteristic of the Mediterranean world..."

Sorry, that second sentence was a bit odd, wasn't it?! It's late and I have a headache... what I meant was: The alternative spelling "Graeco-Roman is also used, though "Greco-" is used particularly in North America...
