Ancient Agora.

Exploring the ancient city at the base of the Acropolis called the Agora.  This is the remains of the Odeion of Agrippa. Built in 15BC it featured a theatre which could seat 1000 people and the entrance had 6 large statues of the Tritons and Giants. It was destroyed by fire in 267AD during the Herulian invasion.



What it looked like when it was built.
