<Location> Agora, Athens, Greece
Now only some traces remain. The materials belong to the middle of the fifth century BC, and to the first century BC - the first century AD. The reason is probably that the original temple of the fifth century BC, situated elsewhere (maybe from Akarnai), was brought here in the Augustan period and some parts were added as this occasion.
