http://agathe.gr/guide/stoa_of_attalos.html Stoa of Attalos Lining the east side of the Agora square is the Stoa of Attalos (Fig. 47), built during the reign of Attalos II of Pergamon (159–138 B.C.), who studied in Athens under the philosopher Karneades ...

Parts of the original building were left or incorporated at the south end, so the visitor can check the validity of the restoration. |

X 23.80 m.), with a cross wall dividing the structure into a main chamber and entrance vestibule.

Fragment Κ 115 b), back and left side preserved. Fifteen lines of the inscription preserved.
Fragment ... 127/6 B.C ... Some of the main fragments were used in the filling of the south tower of the gate in the late Roman Fortification (Q 13); other main fragments came from modern house walls in this neighborhood, no doubt extracted from the Fortification; and a few were found in modern constructions 100m. and more to the north and west of the tower. ... The stele appears to have stood originally in front of the terrace of the Stoa of Attalos, about opposite Pier 5 from the south, and to have been broken up after the Herulian invasion for use as building material in the late Roman Fortification. A quantity of small fragments and chips from it, opposite Pier 5, presumably left behind when the stele was broken up for building use.

An ostracism was held, which resulted in the exile of his main opponent, Thucydides the son of Melesias (not Thucydides the historian). ... Elected strategos (general) year after year, he diverted the funds of the Delian League, established for the defense of Greece, to magnificent building programs in Athens, among them the rebuilding of the Acropolis. ... He was opposed to Perikles and especially to his building program. His ostracism left Perikles as the uncontested political leader of the Athenian state. |
