<Location> Roman Agora, Athens, Attika, Greece
<Also Know As> AgoranomionThis unidentified public building is situated east to the Roman Agora. In this picture is its entrance seen from East (the Roman Agora is the other side). It was constructed in the First century CE. It is known that this building is dedicated to the Goddess Athena and the deified Roman emperors from an inscription, but its use is not known. It was thought to be the office of agoranomoi, supervisors of the market, but now it is in doubt. It might be the Sebasteion, building related to the imperial cult.
The steps from the East Propylon of the Agora continue to the steps led to these three entrances.
In the photo above was shot from the east end of the Roman agora. In front is the East Propylon, and at the end of the steps is the un-identified public building.
In the photo above is the head of a bull inscribed on one of the pillars of the East Propylon. It seems to elaborate to be a frivolous grafitto, and it might be engraved for some purpose.
This is the East Propylon shot from the South. At the right is the Tower of the Winds. Here we cannot see, but to the right in front is the un-identified public building.
This is the East Propylon seen from above.
