Delos - P.60

Delos Greece

I included this so you can see what the Portico of Phillip V looked like.

During the Period of Independence, the rulers of the Hellenistic states tried to outdo each other with big buildings. The Portico of Phillip V was built c. 210 B. C. by Phillip V as attested by the inscription on the epistyle, "PHILIP, KING OF THE MACEDONIANS, [SON OF] KING DEMETRIUS, TO APOLLO"

Portico of Phillip V

The portico is in pieces now.

Cool bit of metal embedded in there.

I like the lion downspouts.

The pieces were all over the place.

When you looked at the drawing you could see where they went.

Hermes

Statue of Hermes.
