The 'Agoranomeion': a mysterious testimony of the past

            The identification of this public building is not yet ascertained. It was built with porous ashlar masonry higher than the level of the east propylon of the Roman Agora. A wide staircase leading to a facade with three archways and parts of the north and south walls are preserved. 

Located on the east side of the Roman Agora, with a triple arched entrance, it is so far unidentified. Initially it was thought this was the Agoranomeion - the headquarters of the market inspectors - but today it is thought it was possibly a temple dedicated to an emperor or deity. 

According to the inscription on the epistyle of the facade the building was dedicated to Athena Archegetis and the divi Augusti (middle 1st c. A.D.)
