The story

Baalbek Roman Nights in Baalbek

Branding, not absence, is the open question: no source confirmed Roman Nights as a distinctly branded programming strand separate from the Baalbeck International Festival's documented Dance and Ballet, Classical, and Jazz-Folk-Pop categories. The phrase most plausibly describes the general experience of any after-dark performance staged among the illuminated Temple of Jupiter and Temple of Bacchus ruins during the festival's July and August season.

The phrase Roman Nights does not appear in official Baalbeck International Festival materials or in the independent reporting reviewed as the name of a distinct, separately branded programming strand, unlike the festival's more clearly documented Dance and Ballet and Jazz, Folk and Pop program categories.
