Arch of Hadrianus


This is the so called arch of Hadrianus from Athens, built somewhere around 130 Ad in Pentelic marble. The exact function is debated, but a “boundary marker” between the new and old areas of the city has been suggested and seems reasonable. There might also be a connection to the final construction of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, considering the proximity and construction date.
