Temple of the Octagonal Bases

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:03:23

The Temple of the Octagonal Bases (2nd century AD) lies in the southeastern corner of the agora, with the base of four columns remaining. It may have replaced an earlier Greek temple. However, the Roman temple is believed to have been built in honour of Aesculapius, the god of healing. The rubble also contains a poorly preserved floor mosaic.
